Redacted Sole Source_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source document under Simplified Procedures for a contract in the Micropurchase to SAT range.

The Naval History and Heritage Command Detachment Boston (NHHCDB) is procuring maintenance and repair services for the LINKBELT Crane Model RTC80130, which is used to rig and support the USS CONSTITUTION during ship movements and underway operations. The sole source contractor is Wood's CRW Corp. (CAGE Code 3CXG9), with an estimated total contract price listed but redacted in the document. The requirement is restricted to this single source because LINKBELT Crane Model RTC80130 must be serviced by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) certified contractor in compliance with Naval Facilities (NAVFAC) and Navy Crane Center requirements. These regulations mandate that all assembly/disassembly procedures and additional Authorized Equipment Providers (AEPs) follow OEM protocols, or the Navy Crane Center (Code 03) must review alternative procedures. Wood's CRW is identified as the only known responsive vendor in the Northeast region that is specifically certified by LINKBELT and the Navy Crane Center, has performed all previous maintenance on the crane since acquisition, and can ensure consistency with historical maintenance work. The document is certified by NHHCDB Activity (DIRECTOR) and approved by the Contracting Officer Ellis.Cody.Cameron under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) on May 5, 2026. The processing activity is NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center, Norfolk Contracting Department, Fleet Directorate.
