Rental of Haki Trak Component Parts

The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Contracting Department, under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, has published a Special Notice announcing its intention to award a sole source Firm-Fixed Price contract to BrandSafway Services (CAGE: 52779) for the rental of HAKITEC Temporary Roofing System Components. The Notice, posted on August 28, 2025, with a due date of September 12, 2025, indicates that the government has determined this product is only available from one source and no other type of product will satisfy the agency's needs. The determination not to compete this contract action is based on market research and falls within the government's discretion. The contract falls under NAICS code 532490 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing) and PSC code 5440 (Scaffolding Equipment And Concrete Forms). No set-aside provisions apply to this opportunity.

The purpose of this sole source contract is to provide a Hakitec 750 Trak temporary roofing system for maintenance and repairs on a dry-docked submarine at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The contract will cover a fifty-two-week base period from April 1, 2026, to March 1, 2028, and will be funded through Fiscal Year 2026 Operations & Maintenance Navy funding. The Navy selected BrandSafway Services because their roofing system is compatible with existing inventory equipment, while alternative systems would create safety risks and potentially interfere with project execution. Market research and a Sources Sought Notice were conducted, receiving two responses that ultimately confirmed BrandSafway Services as the exclusive source and original equipment manufacturer for the HHAKI Roofing System. Since this is a sole source procurement, quotations are not being requested, and contractors cannot compete for this opportunity as it has been restricted to the identified vendor based on the government's justification for using other than full and open competition.
