SAN ANTONIO EMAV RCC 7N

The contract addresses an urgent, non-competitive modification to support the USS SAN ANTONIO (LPD-17) through the replacement of the helo control station window and wiper motor under Request for Contract Change (RCC) 7N, Work Item 625-11-001. This repair is classified as a critical “hot item” requiring completion within 30 days to avoid disrupting the vessel’s Emergent Maintenance Availability (EMAV) schedule and to maintain fleet readiness. The work must be performed at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center in Norfolk, Virginia, where the ship is docked, and is limited to Colonna’s Shipyard due to its unique capability to execute the task within the constrained timeline and existing work package integration. The procurement was awarded as a sole-source delivery order under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(A), citing urgent operational needs that would cause unacceptable delays if full and open competition were pursued. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price, tied to Delivery Order N5005426FL018, with funds drawn from FY26 Operation and Maintenance, Navy. Although no specific cost value is provided, the award is supported by an Independent Government Estimate and historical performance data. Inspection and acceptance occur at the maintenance center under Government authority, with no formal evaluation factors or competitive criteria applied due to the non-competitive nature of the action. The contracting officer, Lauren Heard, is designated as the primary point of contact, and no additional clauses, special requirements, or offeror certifications are documented, reflecting the streamlined, time-sensitive nature of the procurement.
