    JOFOC - NSC Spare Crane_Redacted.pdf
    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), specifically the United States Coast Guard (USCG), seeks to procure a sole-source contract for a critical spare shipset of aft folding boom cranes for the National Security Cutter (NSC) fleet. The contractor, Appleton Marine, Inc., is uniquely positioned to provide these cranes due to their proprietary design and production rights tailored specifically for NSC requirements. The procurement aims to enhance maintenance efficiency, allowing for quicker crane replacements which will significantly reduce the downtime of the cutters and increase their mission availability. The necessity for identical equipment stems from the-specific integration within the NSC's existing systems, rendering alternative suppliers unsuitable. Market research, including an RFI process, confirmed that only Appleton Marine can meet these specialized needs. Approval for this sole-source procurement is justified under 41 U.S.C. § 1901 and FAR Subpart 13.501 during fiscal year 2022. The associated costs have been evaluated for fairness based on historical data from prior procurements. This initiative underscores the government’s focus on maintaining operational readiness while ensuring compliance with procurement regulations.
