USNS ROBERT E. PEARY ROH (T-AKE 5) Regular Overhaul (ROH)

The USNS ROBERT E. PEARY (T-AKE 5) Regular Overhaul (ROH) is a non-competitive, firm fixed price contract awarded to Detyens Shipyards, Inc. in North Charleston, South Carolina, under contract number N3220526C1221P00004, with an estimated value between $17.5 million and $18.5 million. The work is time-critical, with a revised performance period from May 18 to July 19, 2026, necessitated by an unusual and compelling urgency that precludes full and open competition under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2). The overhaul addresses 176 identified deficiencies to restore regulatory compliance with U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and American Bureau of Shipping standards, ensuring the vessel’s operational availability and correct configuration. Delays beyond the July 19 deadline incur severe daily financial penalties of $193,993 due to mission impact, underscoring the operational necessity of on-time completion. The contract was justified as a sole-source award due to a 381-day lead time for critical components, making competitive procurement impractical. Work is performed at Detyens Shipyards, with final inspection and acceptance conducted on-site by the U.S. Coast Guard and ABS prior to the vessel’s departure. Funding is derived from Fiscal Year 2026 Operations and Maintenance, Navy, with a supplementary $1 million authorized for additional regulatory compliance items. The contracting activity is Military Sealift Command Norfolk, with primary point of contact Rodney M. King and secondary contact Raymond Gardner. No formal evaluation factors, detailed pricing line items, or explicit contract clauses are publicly detailed, and while the contractor’s identity is known, its UEI, CAGE code, or socioeconomic status are not provided. Packaging, invoicing procedures, payment details, and specific inspection checklists are not outlined in the available documentation, with requirements primarily governed by regulatory compliance and mission-critical deadlines.
