The Department of Defense, through the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane, is seeking to procure a mast mounted hoist, specifically part number M452B-S4, under a sole-source contract with Thern Inc. This procurement is essential for maintaining operational capabilities, as the hoist is currently in use on fielded Davits and has demonstrated reliability over time. The contract will be awarded based on a Request for Quotation (RFQ) that outlines specifications, certification testing, and a delivery schedule of 26 weeks from the award date. Interested vendors must submit their quotes by January 30, 2025, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, and can direct inquiries to Morgan Helton at morgan.m.helton.civ@us.navy.mil.
