This is a justification for other than full and open competition for a new supply contract for 5-year drydock repairs for the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown. The repairs are necessary to fulfill essential maintenance requirements and inspections to ensure the ship is operational. The estimated period of performance is May 5, 2026, to December 18, 2026. Bollinger Mississippi Repair (BMR) is the sole source because the ship is currently undergoing fire remediation repairs at their facility and cannot maneuver under its own power, making relocation infeasible. Towing the ship elsewhere would significantly delay its return to operational status. A notice of intent to sole source was posted on SAM. gov from February 5, 2026, to February 20, 2026, with no responses received. The solicitation will be publicized on SAM. gov. The contracting officer determines the anticipated price will be fair and reasonable. Traditional market research was bypassed due to specific conditions, and alternatives like sequential repair or vessel relocation were evaluated and deemed unacceptable due to significant delays, increased costs, and project risks.
The estimated period of performance for the drydock repairs is May 5, 2026, to December 18, 2026. The estimated period of performance is May 5, 2026 to December 18, 2026.
The notice of intent to sole source closed on February 20, 2026. A notice of intent to sole source was posted on the governmentwide entry point, sam. gov, on February 5, 2026 and closed on February 20, 2026.
