RECOVERY----PROJECT NUMBER 4201S, Advanced High Efficiency HVAC System for Ships , Incremental Funding for Engineering Services in support of ship program under contractN000178-04-D-4077/FD02

This contract supports the Navy's SEAPORT-E program under the master contract N000178-04-D-4077/FD02, focusing on the Advanced High Efficiency HVAC System for Ships, identified as Project Number 4201S. It involves incremental funding for engineering services essential to the ship program. Due to uncertainties in contract performance and the inability to estimate costs accurately, this contract was awarded as a cost reimbursement type rather than a fixed-price contract. This ensures that contractors are reimbursed for allowable costs incurred during the performance period. The contracting agency responsible for this award is the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division, located in Bethesda, Maryland. The opportunity was made available exclusively to contractors already holding the referenced master contract and was provided for informational purposes pursuant to FAR 5.7, indicating that certain public solicitation rules did not apply. The arrangement reflects the need for flexibility in managing complex engineering support efforts for naval shipboard HVAC systems under evolving technical and operational conditions.
