51353900 SOLE SOURCE.pdf

This document is a Justification for Sole Source procurement for a Falltech 6 FT X-EdgeCore class 2 leading edge personal twin-leg SRL-P with steel swivel rebar hooks. The procurement is specifically for the Shop 64 Fall Prevention Program at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, with Falltech as the sole source manufacturer. The X-EdgeCore system was selected by Shop 64/S64 Management and approved by C/106, and is intended to provide unparalleled safety, workable components, and best adjusting capabilities for S/64 shipwright employees working aloft.

The document emphasizes that all fall gear-related items must be compatible with each other and form one complete fall gear system. The X-EdgeCore system is considered the minimum requirement for the government, and all components must interface with existing systems. The procurement is limited to direct replacement parts for existing brand name equipment, with all fall prevention related components needing to be inter-compatible. The document is dated 05/21/2018 and is associated with the DIA Maritime Puget Sound activity.
