The justification cites that Marrick Corp. is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the Hatchbox insert, which was specifically designed for the Navy and is considered intellectual property.

Marrick Corp. is the only local source with both the necessary equipment and experience to safely install the inserts, making them the sole available contractor. The document concludes with certifications from an authorized individual affirming the sole-source determination, aligning with federal acquisition regulations that restrict full competition for this specific contract.

The main objective is for the contractor to install and weld five storage lockers (Hatchbox “E” Inserts) into hatchboxes and to apply a KEFA Desiccant Coating both internally and externally on these boxes. The vendor must be based locally for effective transportation, as NAVELSG will manage the transportation of the hatchboxes from Williamsburg, VA to the vendor's site in Portsmouth, VA. This requirement forms part of the Navy’s efforts to maintain and improve the logistics support system for deployed gear. Key points include the specific tasks to be completed by the contractor, the responsibility of NAVELSG for transportation, the required certifications, and various applicable clauses referencing federal regulations.
