Scaffolding parts (sole source)

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is soliciting bids for scaffolding parts on a sole-source basis under solicitation SPMYM226Q5988. The procurement includes two line items: 1,000 units of 2" x 2" Right Angle Clamps (BrandSafway PN CRA19) and 50 units of Guard Rail Gate Adjustable (BrandSafway PN GRGA). These components are required as direct-replacement parts for the proprietary scaffolding system currently installed at Trident Refit Facility Bangor, with the sole-source restriction justified by compatibility and critical-fitment requirements unique to the BrandSafway system. Contractors must submit completed and signed solicitations electronically via email to tricia.wintersteen@dla.mil, including manufacturer information, country of origin, and delivery lead times quoted FOB destination. The original response deadline of April 9, 2026 was extended to April 17, 2026 via amendment issued on April 16, 2026, and offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment to avoid rejection. Contractors are required to maintain specific insurance coverage including comprehensive general liability ($500,000 per occurrence) and must implement NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity requirements unless items qualify as Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS).
