About this file

This is a Justification for Sole Source document for a simplified acquisition between the Micro-Purchase Threshold and $250,000, submitted by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk Contracting Department. The document justifies awarding a sole-source contract to Marrick Corp. for installing and welding two storage lockers (Hatchbox "E" Inserts) into two hatchboxes, along with applying KEFA Desiccant Coating internally and externally to both hatchboxes and providing certification of compliance.

The estimated cost is $225,064 with a period of performance from March 1, 2025 through September 15, 2025. Marrick Corp. is justified as the sole source because they are the OEM who designed the Hatchbox insert specifically for the Navy and holds the intellectual property rights. While Marrick has two authorized service providers (one each for East and West Coast), they are not local to NAVELSG and shipping costs would be prohibitive. Additionally, Marrick is identified as the only local manufacturer with the necessary experience and knowledge to design and install these specific inserts for safely storing the containers' intended contents.

Marrick Corp., the OEM, designed the Hatchbox insert specifically for the Navy and considers the product to be intellectual property. Marrick Corp. has two (2) authorized service providers, one for the West Coast and one for the East Coast; however, they are not local to NAVELSG and the shipping cost of these items would be prohibited leaving Marrick Corp as the sole source vendor. Additionally, Marrick Corp is the only company to mailto:mark@marrickcorp.com

Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104 perform this work since the addition of removable inserts became a requirement.
