Crane tech Solutions has done the base work inspections and have identified the parts and repairs needed. An open solicitation would require a new base inspection requiring additional fund and time that would not be conducive to getting the work done during the POP. A delay in completion of this repairs will significantly impact our ability to carry out repairs in the ship yard.

4. X__ UNUSUAL AND COMPELLING URGENCY: The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits. Urgent requirements are supplies or services that will result in work stoppage, or are mission critical and the routine processing time would injure the Government. The determination that the procurement for the above is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:

a. Date on which the requirement was identified: __03 JAN_________________________

b. Required delivery date / Period of Performance: _30 Jan = 18 March 2025

c. If the difference between a. and b. is more than one week, explain the delay in submitting the requirement.
