JOTFOC STA Duluth Boat House Heaters - redacted_Page_1.jpg

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Simplified Acquisition Procedures) for replacing boat house heaters at Station Duluth. The procurement seeks to replace four existing natural gas-powered Detroit radiant heaters that are over 30 years old and experiencing frequent failures. The current heaters are in critical condition, posing safety risks and compromising the facility's operational readiness, with recurring maintenance issues including pipe bursts and potable water repairs.

The procurement justifies a sole source acquisition due to urgent replacement needs, with a specific vendor chosen as the only company willing to provide a quote and services for the replacement. The project aims to ensure the safety of personnel, protect valuable assets, and maintain operational efficiency by investing in new boat house heaters. The estimated amount is redacted in the image, but the procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) with the project/task number UC643CY26 and purchase request number 30364PR26000001.
