The Department of Defense, through the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southwest (NAVFAC SW), intends to award a sole source contract to R.E. Staite Engineering, Inc. for urgent crane services at Naval Base San Diego. The procurement involves the rental and operation of a Yard Derrick Floating Crane and a 65 Ton Floating Crane, along with the necessary labor for their maintenance and operation, necessitated by the breakdown of the existing YD 260 floating crane. This contract, valued at approximately $1.7 million, is critical for maintaining mission operations across several San Diego naval bases and is expected to commence on September 16, 2024, with a performance period of about 61 days. Interested parties may reach out to Christina Peer or Stephanie Livengood via email for further inquiries, although the decision to pursue competitive procurement remains at the Government's discretion.
