The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to award a sole source modification to Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, LLC. (TMC), 137 Barry Belanger St, Houma, LA., 70363 under Contract N00024-19-C-2216. The Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) modification will be in support of the NOAA AGOR Variant (NAV) Oceanographer (Ship 1) and Discoverer (Ship 2) through the procurement of Additional Government Requirements and Special Studies. TMC will provide these tasks through September 2026. TMC is currently providing these complementary and integral efforts in support of the Construction of NAV Ships 1-2. No other company has sufficient familiarity with the unique aspects of the design and construction of the NAV Ships or possesses the equivalent in-depth knowledge to support their timely and cost-effective delivery. Only one or a limited number of responsible sources and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements; therefore, the contract will be awarded pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302 for this proposed contract action.
