The U.S. Navy’s Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane is procuring two 40,000-pound capacity handling carts under a sole-source contract awarded to The Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Company, utilizing FAR Part 12 commercial item acquisition procedures. The procurement is justified due to the vendor’s exclusive ownership of proprietary data and specifications for the equipment, and no competition is anticipated despite the opportunity for other responsible sources to submit capability statements, which will only inform the government’s decision not to compete. The contract, issued as solicitation N00164-26-Q-0242, requires all offerors to be currently registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), with compliance enforced through specific FAR clauses including 52.204-7 and 52.204-13, which mandate active SAM registration and maintenance.

Delivery is due no later than January 13, 2027, with F.O.B. Origin terms assigning risk of loss to the government upon delivery to the carrier at the contractor’s facility, and final inspection and acceptance occurring at NSWC Crane, Indiana. All invoices must be submitted electronically through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), with payment processed by the DoDAAC N00164, and delivery coordinated with Heath Gogel, RTA. The contract incorporates multiple cybersecurity and supply chain security requirements, including mandatory CMMC Level 1, 2, or 3 certification, compliance with NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding controlled unclassified information, and adherence to prohibitions on procurement from entities linked to the Maduro regime or Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The government retains the authority to accept other than the lowest offer and may award without discussions, suggesting a potential Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach. Offers must be emailed to Jaclyn Bailey by July 28, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time
