Small Capacity Weight Handling Equipment 2013-2018

Naval Facilities Engineering Command awarded this Master IDIQ on October 30, 2013 for the procurement of new weight handling equipment (bridge cranes, monorails, jib cranes, hoists, wall cranes, and gantry cranes) and overhaul of existing equipment for Navy, Marine Corps, and other federal activities worldwide, including site survey, design, fabrication, rail installation, demolition, electrification, installation, testing, and operational training. Ordering closed on October 29, 2018, making this vehicle inactive for seven years and eight months.

The vehicle is fully expended. All $18.2 million in combined potential value across 35 task orders has been obligated. Peak ordering activity occurred in 2016, when nine task orders were awarded; subsequent years (2017–2018) averaged 4.5 orders annually. The vehicle remains closed to new orders.

Crane Technologies Group, Inc. dominates the prime base, holding 14 of 35 task orders (40%) and capturing $11.7 million of the $18.2 million combined potential value—roughly 64% of all value. Piedmont Hoist & Crane Inc. ranks second with 8 orders and $2.9 million, followed by Westmont Industries LLC (4 orders, $1.8 million) and American Equipment, Inc. (5 orders, $1.4 million). The top four primes account for 97% of task orders. Three additional primes split the remainder.

Customer concentration runs entirely to Navy bureaus. Naval Facilities Engineering Command placed 15 orders ($4.6 million), Naval Installations Command 7 orders ($4.1 million), Naval Sea Systems Command 8 orders ($2.6 million), and Naval Air Systems Command's Naval Air Warfare Center 2 orders ($4.3 million). The remaining five orders ($417 thousand) went to Fleet Forces Command Atlantic.

Set-aside distribution reflects a mix: 57% of task orders (20) carried no set-aside designation, while 43% (15) were designated Total Small Business. The vehicle contained six prime contractors holding at least one task order award.

Task orders ranged from $10 thousand (minimum guarantee drawdown) to $4.1 million (120/30-ton crane modernization). Most production orders fell in the $200 thousand to $800 thousand band. Performance periods typically spanned 12–36 months, with a notable outlier extending to August 2024. Work was performed at Navy installations nationwide and at overseas locations including Guam and Bangor, Washington.

Master IDIQ for the ordering of new, and the overhaul of existing, weight handling equipment (WHE) of varying types, (bridge cranes, monorails, jib cranes, hoists, wall cranes, and gantry cranes) and lifting capacities for Navy, Marine Corps and other federal activities worldwide. Work under this vehicle will also include, but not be limited to: site survey/investigation, design, fabrication, crane rail survey/installation, demolition/removal of existing cranes and equipment, runway/equipment electrification, crane installation, crane testing, and operational training.
