MKVI PATROL BOAT TOW, LIFT AND STORAGE SERVICES

This urgent requirement has been submitted as a sole source; therefore it is recommended to resolve the small business setaside and solicit as other than full and open competition.The unique shape and size of the craft precludes the use of standard boat lifts. The subject vendor has the capability and capacity to lift, store, and maintain the craft within the Navy requirements. Other vendors contacted do not have the lift capability to complete the towing capability, lifting capability, nor have storage space/capacity for the boats at their facilities. The subject vendor is the only local vendor that can provide the required services to tow, lift, and stow all three craft in addition to having adequate space for dry storage. Due to the urgency, it was prudent to proceed with the existing contractor, whom has the capability and availability to execute the requirement. It has been determined that it is in the best interest of the Government to award this procurement to Fairlead Boatworks, Inc.
