About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Baltimore issued a sole-source justification notice on September 28, 2026, restricting competition for crane and hoist repairs at Washington Aqueduct facilities to American Mergers AND Manufacturing International LLC (dba Waymaker), with responses due by October 9, 2026. The procurement is a total small business set-aside under simplified acquisition threshold authority. The repairs address critical deficiencies identified during the annual inspection required by OSHA and USACE EM 385-1-1 regulations and ASME/ANSI B30 Crane Standard Codes. Waymaker, the incumbent contractor performing the comprehensive annual inspection, possesses direct working knowledge of the specific repairs needed and precise parts required. The government determines that procuring repairs from a new contractor would result in unacceptable delays and inflated costs due to the need for duplicate re-inspections, and that no other contractor has this immediate, intimate knowledge of the specific deficiencies. The sole-source authority derives from FAR Subpart 12.102(a), which permits competition restriction when procuring commercial services under simplified acquisition threshold when only one source is reasonably available.
Notice text
The purpose of this special notice is to issue notice of intent to restrict competition for certain commercial services under the simplified acquisition threshold. The Washington Aqueduct has a requirement for the procurement of critical repairs for the several crane and hoist systems located at the WA facilities. These repairs were specifically identified during the annual inspection required to maintain safety standards for safe operation in accordance with OSHA and USACE EM 385-1-1 regulations, as well as ASME/ANSI B30 Crane Standard Codes. Authority to Restrict Competition: Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), Subpart 12.102(a).Reason for Authority Cited: RFO 12.102(a) allows the Contracting Officer (KO) to restrict competition when procuring commercial products or services under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) when they determine that only one source is reasonably available to fulfill the requirement. The Government requires critical repairs to its crane and hoist systems to support the Washington Aqueducts potable water treatment program. The proposed source, American Mergers AND Manufacturing International LLC (dba Waymaker), is the contractor currently performing the Crane Inspection and Maintenance Service Contract. Under this contract, Waymaker performed the comprehensive annual inspection that identified the required repairs. Because Waymaker performed this highly detailed inspection, they possess direct working knowledge of the specific repairs needed and the precise parts required. Procuring repairs from a new contractor would result in unacceptable delays and inflated costs due to the need for duplicate re-inspections. Because no other contractor has this immediate, intimate knowledge of the specific deficiencies, it is determined that only one source is reasonably available to perform these commercial services.
