Crane Services for docking and undocking of 110' Coast Guard Cutters

The U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistic Center (SFLC) has a requirement to purchase crane services for docking and undocking of several 110's at the CG Yard. This is a Notice of Intent to award a Sole Source Purchase order to Mclean Contracting Company. This synopsis is issued pursuant to the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and HSAM 3006-302. A determination was made by the Government to award the service to Mclean Contracting Company with justification using other than full and open competition. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304(1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1 (a)(2)(iii), "Only One Responsible Source and No other Supplies or Services Will satisfy Agency Requirements". This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. Determinations not to compete this proposed procurement were made because they have the only crane barge large enough to lift a 110' vessel. There is not enough space at the CG Yard to use a large land crane. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
