This document is a Single Source Justification (SSJ) for an urgent Navy repair of a Foundry Crane AE-105. The procurement involves replacing the OEM 60-Ton Main Hoist S/N 10445 gear case mechanical load brake assembly with associated components from Konecranes Inc., located in Springfield, OH. The repair is mission-critical for the Columbia Class and Virginia Class submarine programs, with the crane being a vital asset from 1940. The required delivery is set for 5/29/25 or as soon as possible, with the justification emphasizing that only the original manufacturer can supply the specialized parts without compromising the crane's original specifications, safety, and reliability. The procurement will be conducted as a sole source acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold, with Konecranes being the only authorized source due to proprietary design and manufacturing requirements.
