NHHCDB Mobile Crane Rental Service

The Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center, Norfolk is seeking mobile crane rental services for the Naval History and Heritage Command Detachment Boston to support SAIL 250 repairs and USS Constitution preparations while the facility's primary in-yard crane undergoes maintenance inspection. The government intends to procure a LINKBELT Crane (Model RTC80130) on a sole-source basis under an urgency of need justification, though the announcement remains open to all responsible sources. The procurement includes delivery, setup, operational testing, routine maintenance, emergency repairs, and dismantling/removal of the mobile crane. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the summary materials, the government will consider all bids received by the firm deadline of 5:30 PM EST on Monday, April 14, 2026, with quotations to be submitted electronically to cody.c.ellis.civ@us.navy.mil. All quotations must be held firm for 60 days, and the NAICS code is 333923 with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, incorporating applicable FAR and DFARS provisions through February 2026 and November 2025.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is intended as a sole-source award to Wood's CRW Corp. (CAGE Code 3CXG9), identified as the only certified OEM-approved vendor in the area capable of urgently providing the identical crane model. The contract spans a base period from April 14, 2026 through May 13, 2026, with two optional periods extending through June 11, 2026, and will be performed at Charlestown, MA 02129. The government will execute the award as a firm, fixed-price purchase order under Simplified Acquisition Procedures; however, specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the available solicitation materials. The urgency justification emphasizes that alternative crane models would require additional trained operators and create unnecessary government expenditure while jeopardizing operational readiness and mission objectives related to the Navy's 250th Anniversary celebration.
