Rigging And Rigging Gear

The Product Service Code (PSC) 2020 for Rigging and Rigging Gear encompasses a broad range of specialized equipment used in maritime, industrial, and military applications. This category includes items such as slings, shackles, hoists, lifting equipment, wire ropes, chains, and related hardware designed for lifting, securing, and manipulating heavy loads. The products are critical for operational capabilities across naval, marine, and industrial sectors, supporting activities like shipbuilding, maintenance, logistics, and equipment handling.

Federal Contract Awards in this PSC category predominantly involve the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime, with most contracts being small business set-asides. Award values range from approximately $1,200 to $944,876, typically with performance periods between 2-12 months. Frequently awarded contractors include West Coast Wire Rope & Rigging, EHB Supply, Mazzella Lifting Technologies, and Lift-It Manufacturing Company. The primary places of performance are naval shipyards, particularly the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington. Contracts often specify precise technical requirements, including load capacities, material specifications, and proof load testing standards.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities continue to focus on specialized rigging equipment for maritime applications. Solicitations include requests for air hoists, plate clamps, anchor shackles, round slings, beam clamps, and flight deck rigging components. The U.S. Coast Guard, Naval Sea Systems Command, and U.S. Geological Survey have posted opportunities targeting small businesses. Most solicitations require detailed technical specifications, manufacturer information, and compliance with cybersecurity standards like NIST SP 800-171. Delivery locations remain concentrated in Washington state, particularly naval and maritime facilities, with required delivery dates typically ranging from late 2024 to early 2025.
