This is a Justification for Sole Source document (CUI Form TRFB 4491/3) for a federal contract procurement in the $15,000 to $350,000 range. The contracting officer, Tricia Wintersteen, from DLA Weapons Support Puget Sound, justifies restricting competition to a single source manufacturer for Layher Scaffold products under contract number N6843861113S75, dated June 1, 2026.

The required item consists of scaffold towers with and without stairs, with added material as specified. The manufacturer is Layher Scaffold, represented by Barry Humphreys (POC: 206-741-8414) located at 300 Tennant Way, Longview, WA 98362. The justification establishes that Layher is the only authorized "system scaffolding" manufacturer approved for use at TRFB Bangor per PI 991-340-004, and that shipwrights require this specific scaffold configuration to maintain safe access to worksites and comply with OSHA regulations (29CFR1926.451(b)(10)). The material is deemed compatible with existing Layher Scaffold systems currently in use, and represents the minimum government requirements. The justification notes that mixing scaffold manufacturers contradicts OSHA safety regulations. The procurement is controlled by DLA Weapons Support, categorized as PROCURE/SSEL with FED ONLY limited distribution control.
