The General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking approval for a brand-name procurement of DICA Fibermax MD-HD Crane Pads and accessories to support the Naval Facilities Engineering Command at Naval Base San Diego. This requirement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), allowing for procurement without full and open competition due to the patented design of the pads, which provide weight advantages essential for the site’s deteriorating pavement and uneven ground. The total estimated value of the procurement is $95,128.00 for eight crane pads, forklift pockets, lifting lugs, and corner cribbing. The lightweight Fibermax pads offer distinctive benefits such as resistance to environmental degradation, making them suitable for various operational conditions at the naval base. Extensive market research confirmed a lack of competing products that meet the same specifications, leading to this sole-source justification. The GSA plans to maximize competition by posting the synopsis on SAM.gov, although it anticipates limited responses due to the specific nature of the requested items. The contracting officer certifies the justification as accurate, reinforcing the agency's commitment to appropriate procurement processes while addressing specific operational needs.
