PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISITION NUMBER

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE

Provide a pump truck via barge to pump a 1,800 gallon sewage tank at STL pier, along with 700 gallons from CGC GASCONADE. Pumps are now INOP and repairs can't be made while sewage is full. Two home ported cutters rely on this tank. Critical waterways navigation updates are needed to be completed by CGC GASCONADE, specifically the section of the Mississippi River north of Lock 22. This area is vital to the trillions of dollars of commerce that flow on the Mississippi river each year and has not been updated since the winter months. Aids to navigation off station on the river can cause significant property damage and be a hazard to life and limb if ships travel outside navigable lanes and crash or ground.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES

Action is urgent/emergent, compelling, and vital/critical in D8 ATON mission completion in support of vital commerce movement. The inability to pump cutter sewage places the unit in an Not Mission Capable (NMC) status and removes an asset from service, cutter must be able to pump sewage prior to getting underway for ATON. This is also a safety and environmental health concern for the homeported cutters and possible contamination of the Mississippi river. Vendor is registered in SAMS and local, they have done similar work for the CG prior.
