This document is a sole source award notice for a federal contract to rent a boom lift needed for urgent ship repairs and maintenance. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command awarded contract N0024424P0222 to SUNBELT RENTALS, INC. on June 20, 2024 for $30,712.00. The urgent need for the boom lift is critical to completing necessary repairs and ensuring the ships are fully operational and safe for their scheduled deployment. After contacting multiple vendors, it was determined that SUNBELT RENTALS, INC. was the only vendor who could provide the boom lift immediately at a reasonable price, while other vendors had a wait time of many weeks. The use of the sole source justification under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) was necessary to proceed with the urgent repairs without delay, which could have compromised the readiness of the vessels.
