USNS LARAMIE ROH/DD FY 26

The contract N3220526C1226P00002, titled USNS LARAMIE ROH/DD FY 26, is a modification issued under unusual and compelling urgency to incorporate critical mission-essential repairs into the existing overhaul contract for the USNS LARAMIE (T-AO 203), a fleet replenishment oiler operated by the Military Sealift Command. The work is being performed at Alabama Shipyard in Mobile, Alabama, during a scheduled drydock period, with a performance period spanning from April 23, 2026, through August 1, 2026. The modification was awarded using other than full and open competition under FAR 6.103-2 due to the urgent need to address newly identified deficiencies that, if left unresolved, would result in over $80 million in vessel downtime, loss of operational readiness, and significant rework costs. Key deliverables include underwater hull cleaning and spot painting to preserve hull integrity, installation of roller curtain doors to meet U.S. Coast Guard fire zone boundary requirements, inspection and repair of the mission-critical cargo control console, and troubleshooting of four faulty Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) sensors that monitor strut bearing temperatures. The estimated value of the modification is $1,000,000, bringing the total contract value to between $18,205,703 and $19,205,703, reflecting the base overhaul contract plus the urgent new work. The repairs are required to satisfy standards set by the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and American Bureau of Shipping, and all work must be completed within the current drydock window to avoid costly delays. The contract was not awarded through a competitive process, and no formal evaluation factors, weights, or technical scoring criteria were applied; instead, the award decision was driven by the financial and operational consequences of delay, with a daily cost of delay quantified at $210,167. While the contract includes specific work items identified by CCO codes, pricing, quantities, and unit costs are not detailed in the provided documentation. The contracting office is located in Norfolk, Virginia, with Teana Smith listed as the primary point of contact, and funding is sourced from Fiscal Year 2026 Operations and Maintenance, Navy. No packaging, marking, inspection criteria, or offeror certifications were specified in the available materials, and standard special
