USCG 9700 Swing Reach Forklift "BRAND NAME ONLY"

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for acquisitions at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The agency is requesting a brand-name sole-source procurement of a Raymond Model 970-CSR30T swing reach truck, which includes a swing reach mast/body assembly, battery installation, and a battery charger. The recommended source is Werres Corporation, located in Frederick, Maryland. The justification for restricting competition is that Raymond brand-name forklifts are exclusively owned, sold, and serviced by Werres Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Toyota Corporation. Furthermore, this specific Raymond swing reach model is the only forklift designed to operate within the Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC) warehouse, and its proprietary guidance technology is owned solely by Werres Corporation. To ensure a fair and reasonable price, the Contracting Officer will utilize methods such as market research, comparisons with previous purchases, current price lists, similar industry items, and the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE). The technical requirement was certified by COR Thomas Sparr on August 5, 2026, and the contracting officer approved the justification on August 10, 2026.

This document outlines the technical specifications and equipment standards for the CSR30T turret truck model, likely compiled for a government procurement or RFP process requiring specialized material handling equipment. The vehicle features a 48-volt power unit powered by the ACR SystemTM, alongside an ergonomic operator compartment designed for safety and efficiency, featuring a 3-wheel suspension system, full body harness fall protection, and flexible operator positions. Key performance technologies include AC-Traction and lift systems, intellispeedTM controls, automated safety speed reductions, and customizable performance parameters. Physically, the CSR30T has a 3,000 lb. load capacity, a maximum fork elevation height of 420 inches (with a collapsed mast height of 208 inches), and is designed to operate in a clear aisle width of 66 inches. It accommodates standard load sizes of 48x40x48 inches and features specialized battery compartment specifications, including integrated rollers, adjustable retainers, and compatibility with batteries weighing up to 3,500 lbs.
