About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has awarded a sole-source contract to Gregory Poole Marine for urgent technical service and parts to repair the starboard and port main engines on the NOAA Ship Ferdinand R. Hassler, under Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
The determination cites urgency due to unusual and compelling circumstances. The vessel is in "no sail" status following discovery of heavy corrosion and saltwater intrusion in both main engines, with a CASREP issued April 29, 2026. Continued delay in repairs would incur estimated daily costs of $12,000 from mission delays and risks project cancellation with loss of critical data collection. Market research confirmed that Caterpillar Original Equipment Manufacturer services are required to ensure engine quality and longevity. Gregory Poole Marine is the only authorized CAT marine service dealer located within close proximity (less than 5 miles) to the vessel's location in Morehead City, North Carolina, making it the sole responsible source capable of delivering the required service on the necessary timeline. The period of performance extends from date of award through ten days. The determination was certified by Port Engineer Justin Kusterk and approved by Contracting Officer Andrew Northcutt on May 1, 2026, under requisition 140802-26-0341.
