Redacted J&A for P00001

The U.S. Navy’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center awarded additional work under Delivery Order N5005426FC019, Modification P00001, to Auxiliary Systems Inc. as a sole-source action justified under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(A), bypassing the fair opportunity process due to urgent mission requirements. The work involves critical repairs to the Vacuum, Collection, Holding, and Transfer (VCHT) System Piping aboard the USS MAHAN (DDG-72), which must be completed immediately to prevent the ship from falling below mission-capable status. The repair is time-sensitive, with a competitive procurement process estimated to take 26 days—unacceptably long given the operational urgency. Performance is to occur at the MARMC facility in Norfolk, Virginia, with inspection and acceptance conducted by the Government at the same location. The action is funded through Operations and Maintenance, Navy (OM&N) funds, though no specific contract value is disclosed. The Contracting Officer is Tinishia Stephenson, and the Technical Representative is Barbara A. Smith, with Karina Tejada listed as the primary point of contact. No formal evaluation factors, pricing details, packaging requirements, sampling criteria, or offeror certifications are documented, as the decision was based solely on urgency and the contractor’s unique capability to execute the work without delay. The modification integrates this work into an existing IDIQ contract structure (N000024-22-D-4413), leveraging existing administrative and logistical frameworks to ensure rapid execution.
