RECOVERY - Wet Lab Deck Covering Replacement for the NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow

The contract modification increases the total value of the existing purchase order EA133M-10-SU-0363 for the Wet Lab Deck Covering Replacement on the NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow by $17,517, raising it from $52,000 to $69,517. This firm-fixed-price modification adds line items 0002 and 0003 to cover additional labor and material costs for extra repairs during the availability period. The modification specifically applies to the current contractor performing the original Wet Lab Deck Covering Replacement work under the existing purchase order and aligns with transparency and accountability guidelines set by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The work is set within the scope of a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 336611, managed by the Department of Commerce’s NOAA office based in Norfolk, Virginia, with performance taking place in Newport, Rhode Island. Contract specialists Robin Resweber and Christine Jeffries serve as points of contact. The modification ensures compliance with supplemental appropriations and maintains continuity in the ongoing repair efforts on the specified NOAA vessel.
