The U.S. Marine Corps awarded a $25,480 firm fixed-price purchase order to ERI Enterprises, LLC on June 18, 2025, for the procurement, installation, and startup of a one-ton Gorbel freestanding monorail system and one-ton chain hoist at Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany in Albany, Georgia. This total small business set-aside contract was competitively solicited through a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items, with award based on technical capability, price, and past performance. ERI Enterprises, a small business based in Nocatee, Florida, specializes in rigging, material handling, and technical installation services for federal agencies and was selected as the responsible offeror from the May 2025 solicitation.
Under the contract, ERI Enterprises is responsible for furnishing all labor, materials, tools, and services necessary to deliver, install, and perform function testing on the crane system, with completion required within 140 calendar days of award. The monorail system must stand less than 13 feet tall with the trolley saddle eye positioned at 11 feet from the ground, aligned with a parts washer in Building 2200, and installation work is constrained to standard business hours Monday through Friday. This procurement supports the Marine Corps Logistics Base's material handling and facility maintenance operations, leveraging specialized equipment handling expertise that ERI Enterprises has demonstrated across multiple federal agency contracts totaling over $105,000 in recent awards.
