About this file
This is a Memorandum to File documenting a decision to restrict competition for a commercial acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The acquisition is for QTY 2 material handling carts with a 40,000 LB capacity required by an unnamed federal agency. The carts are needed to transport NSWC Crane-designed equipment around a third-level maintenance facility. Existing carts are decades old and obsolete, necessitating replacement. The required delivery date is February 7, 2027.
The sole source selected is The Hamilton Caster & MFG Company (CAGE Code 26935) located in Hamilton, Ohio. The restriction on competition is justified under the "Only One Responsible Source" and "Other Reasons" categories, citing that COTS handling carts from additional vendors fail to meet the specific size and weight requirements of the equipment. The Hamilton Caster & MFG Company carts are oversized from their COTS equivalent to meet the exact specifications and support equipment requirements, and no other vendor can provide carts meeting both cost and schedule requirements. The total dollar value is redacted. The memorandum was certified by Morgan Helton, Contracting Officer, on July 8, 2026, and includes the required technical/requirements certification and contracting officer approval in accordance with RFO FAR 12.102(a) and RFO DFARS 212.
