⚖️ Authority and Justification

This acquisition is being pursued on a sole-source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which allows for soliciting from a single source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source is reasonably available.

The intended source is:
CraneWorks, Inc.
6119 Miller RD
Richmond, Virginia 23231

🔍 Basis for Sole Source

CraneWorks, Inc. is uniquely qualified to perform this repair. They are the incumbent contractor responsible for crane maintenance at the facility under a contract with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and are the NAVFAC-designated contractor for maintaining compliance with NAVFAC P-307 standards. As the designated maintenance contractor, CraneWorks, Inc. possesses intimate and specialized knowledge of the equipment, its operational requirements, and the governing regulations.

Awarding the contract to another vendor would create a division of responsibility, introduce significant risks, and likely cause unacceptable delays in returning the crane to service. Utilizing CraneWorks ensures continuity of responsibility, accountability, and a seamless and efficient repair process.
