This document is a U.S. Coast Guard justification for restricting competition on a commercial products and services procurement under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The purchase request number is 6252-FH01, and the Coast Guard seeks to procure crane inspection and load testing services on a sole source basis. The required supplies are annual inspections and load tests for two specific pieces of equipment: a Broderson IC-200-3H crane (Part Number not specified) and a Shuttle Lift 5500B crane (Quantity 2 each). The intended user is the Military Readiness and Logistics Support (MRS and LRS) division. The suggested source is Crane Tech Solutions LLC, located at 2030 Ponderosa Street, Portsmouth, VA 23701 (Cage Code 4KAY6), with Unique Entity Identifier D1VRZDPD1. The justification for sole source procurement is that only one source is available, citing urgency and exclusivity factors. The contracting officer will use market research to ensure fair and reasonable pricing. The sole source justification indicates that Crane Tech Solutions holds all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for the inspection and load testing services, and the government does not own these technical rights. Market research has determined that purchasing from this vendor is uneconomical and not in the government's best interest from alternative sources.
