Crash Crane Pressure Gauge Set and Pressure Relief Tool

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst, NJ (NAWCADLKE) intends to procure a pressure gauge set and pressure relief tools specifically designed for maintenance of Carrier Crash Salvage Crane (CCSC) and Amphibious Crash and Salvage Crane (ACSC). The procurement will be a firm fixed price modification under an existing contract, with Allied System Company (ASC) identified as the sole Original Equipment Manufacturer capable of providing these specialized components. NAWCADLKE will utilize the authority of 10 U.S.C.3204(a)(1) as implemented in FAR 6.302.1, which allows for a non-competitive procurement due to the unique technical specifications. The agency is seeking interested firms to identify their capabilities, though this notice is not a formal request for competitive proposals. Responses will be considered solely to determine whether a competitive procurement might be feasible, with the final determination remaining entirely at the government's discretion. The response deadline is May 24, 2025, and interested parties should note that no formal solicitation will be available for this procurement.

The contract opportunity is not designated with a specific set-aside classification and falls under the NAICS category 333923 for Overhead Traveling Crane, Hoist, and Monorail System Manufacturing. Allied System Company is explicitly identified as the only manufacturer with the requisite technical data and interface dimensions for the required pressure gauge set and relief tools. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The procurement is specifically for crane maintenance equipment that requires precise technical compatibility with existing crane systems. As a defense-related procurement through the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command, the contract represents a targeted, specialized acquisition focused on maintaining critical naval equipment infrastructure.
