USNS JOSHUA HUMPHREYS FY26 MTA

This contract modification relates to the maintenance and repair work for the USNS JOSHUA HUMPHREYS during its Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) Maintenance and Technical Availability (MTA) period, performed at Alabama Shipyard in Mobile, Alabama. The work scope includes addressing multiple repairs to critical ship systems based on American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) findings, restoring operational readiness to meet Military Sealift Command (MSC) redline standards, and ensuring compliance with regulatory inspections such as the Certificate of Inspection (COI). Specific contract change orders (CCOs), such as the replacement of lifeboat davits and repairs to failed sea strainer welds, define the deliverables and repair priorities to prevent schedule delays, avoid duplicative mobilizations, and maintain fleet readiness. The contract is administered by the Military Sealift Command Headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, with Thomas White designated as the Contracting Officer responsible for modification execution and payment oversight. Funding is provided under FY26 Operations and Maintenance (Navy) appropriations. Invoicing follows a progress payment schedule, although explicit payment mechanisms are not detailed. The documentation primarily documents administrative contract modifications under FAR 43.103(b) and DFARS 252.217-7003 and does not include standard FAR contract clauses, pricing data, packaging or marking requirements, or formal evaluation factors for award. No socioeconomic status or small business certifications are recorded. Inspection and acceptance occur at the shipyard with contractors required to comply with ABS and MSC standards. While attachment references such as Justifications and Approvals (J&A) and enclosures exist, they are not fully included, and special contract requirements or solicitation instructions remain unspecified in the provided materials.
