This is a Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition (Exception to Fair Opportunity) justification document for a federal procurement.

The contracting activity is Naval Base Pearl Harbor (N00604 NAVSUP FLC Pearl Harbor), and the procurement request/solicitation number is N6281326PR00228. The requirement involves replacement of docking and sub-structure as needed to overhaul and maintain floating dock systems around Pearl Harbor Area of Responsibility. Specifically, the government seeks Tiger Docks to support Port Operations mooring for Arizona Tour Boats, Harbor Security Boats, and Oil Spill Response Boats, including dock materials and labor to complete the project. The estimated dollar value is redacted, with no OM&N or OPN obligations shown and RDT&E amounts listed as 0.00. The performance period runs from 09/30/2026 to 09/29/2027.

The justification for single-source procurement is based on the "Only One Responsible Source" criterion under 10 USC 3204(a)(1) or 41 USC 3304(a)(1). Tiger Waterfront Products, LLC is identified as the sole source manufacturer of Tiger Docks, with proprietary design specifications and connection points that are incompatible with alternative products. The document emphasizes that the existing government-owned infrastructure at Pearl Harbor was specifically designed for Tiger Docks, making the exact brand and specifications essential and not available from other manufacturers. Additionally, specialized labor certifications and training requirements for underwater dock repair work further support the sole-source determination. No exclusive licensing agreements, unusual urgency, or alternative manufacturers capable of meeting requirements were identified.
