AI Contract Overview

The Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) intends to award a sole source contract to The General Ship Repair Corp. for urgent repairs to the Training Ship Freedom Star. This contract is being awarded under the statutory authority for unusual and compelling urgency (10 USC 2304(c)(1)) without competitive proposals due to the immediate need to fix a leaking bow thruster fuel line that was identified as deficient by the American Bureau of Shipping during the ship's Annual Survey. Delays in repairing this critical component could compromise safety during training cruises, result in loss of regulatory certification, and cause unnecessary expense and setbacks if the repair were subjected to a competitive process or assigned to another contractor. The contract, identified by solicitation number 6933A221P000026, was posted on April 21, 2021, with performance expected in Piney Point, Maryland. While the notice is primarily informational and does not anticipate responses, potential suppliers must demonstrate their capability to provide the necessary services immediately. Questions regarding the contract are directed to W. Alan Wile of the Maritime Administration. The urgency and specialized nature of the repair justify the sole source approach to prevent unacceptable delays and ensure continued operational readiness and compliance of the Training Ship Freedom Star.

Full Description

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. It is published for informational purposes only. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract under statutory authority 10 USC 2304(c)(1), set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency. MARAD intends to award a sole source contract to the The General Ship Repair Corp. 1449 Key Highway Baltimore, Maryland 21230-5191. The Training Ship Freedom Star requires immediate repair of a leaking bow thruster fuel line that runs through the flume tank due to the ABS failing this item during the Annual Survey. Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Government's need would be incurred if made to post this requirement and include the possibility of decreased safety during training cruises and the loss of regulatory certification. Finding another contractor would result in unacceptable repair delays and added expense. See the attached Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition for additional information regarding this sole source determination. Though no responses to the notice of intent to this sole source are anticipated, any potential respondent must provide evidence showing their capability to immediately provide and perform the required supply and services. All questions and/or comments regarding this notice shall be addressed in writing to W. Alan Wile at contact@example.gov. This notice is valid until Friday, 23 April 2021.
