JA Rev 2 Fully signed Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for other than full and open competition for JLG Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs) at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, ME. The document justifies a sole-source brand name procurement under FAR 13.501(a) with an estimated value of $1,396,620 over a three-year period (one base year plus two option years).

The J&A explains that MEWPs are required by the Code 700 Crane Maintenance Department for essential maintenance operations on PNSY cranes and other elevated work throughout the shipyard. The justification for limiting competition to JLG brand platforms is based on training requirements - over 200 PNSY employees are currently licensed on JLG models, and retraining operators on different models would cause significant operational delays due to limited training capacity of 5-6 personnel per day. The document notes that market research was conducted using DSBS and found at least 10 small businesses capable of providing JLG equipment. The contract will be funded through Operations and Maintenance, Navy funds.
