NAVFAC Weight Handling Equipment 2013-2018

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command established this Master IDIQ on April 18, 2013, to procure new weight handling equipment and perform overhaul work on existing bridge cranes and gantry cranes for Navy, Marine Corps, and other federal activities worldwide. Ordering closed on April 17, 2018, and the vehicle is no longer active. This vehicle is not suitable for new pursuit.

The 19 task orders awarded under the vehicle collectively obligated $26.7 million against a shared ceiling of $30 million, exhausting the available authorization. The most recent order was placed on May 26, 2017. Ordering velocity peaked in 2014, with eight orders placed that year; activity declined to two orders each in 2016 and 2017. All obligated funds have been drawn; no remaining capacity exists.

Work contracted included procurement and installation of single and double-girder cranes ranging from 5 to 200 tons, site surveys and design, demolition and removal of existing equipment, electrification, testing, and operational training. Firm fixed-price delivery orders for specific crane installations and modernizations ranged from $125 thousand to $5.6 million. Three contractors captured 100% of awards: Crane Technologies Group, Inc. (9 orders, $11.6 million), Heco Pacific Manufacturing Inc. (7 orders, $7.7 million), and Advanced Crane Technologies LLC (3 orders, $7.5 million). About 68% of orders (13 of 19) were designated for small business; the remainder unrestricted.

Navy component agencies dominated customer activity. Naval Sea Systems Command placed six orders worth $7.8 million combined; Naval Facilities Engineering Command five orders worth $6.4 million; Naval Installations Command two orders worth $3.6 million; and Naval Supply Systems Command two orders worth $2.6 million. Eight agencies funded work across the vehicle's life.
