The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, through its Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, intends to sole-source the overhaul of the telescoping and knuckle boom crane aboard the NOAA Ship Pisces to Appleton Marine Inc., the original equipment manufacturer. The crane was originally installed by Appleton Marine, and only their approved parts and services are permitted to maintain component compatibility, ensure ABS certification, and prevent premature failure, especially during critical heavy-lift operations. Unauthorized parts risk violating warranty terms, requiring costly shipboard modifications, and compromising safety and performance standards. As the exclusive OEM, Appleton Marine retains proprietary rights and is the only authorized source for repairs, servicing, and replacement components. The procurement will be conducted under FAR Part 13 and FAR Part 12, using non-competitive procedures authorized by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), with the NAICS code 333923 and a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. Although no competitive solicitation is planned, any entity claiming to be an authorized distributor or reseller of Appleton Marine parts may submit a statement of capabilities by 5:00 p.m. EST on August 4, 2026, including proof of official manufacturer authorization and warranty agreements. All submissions must be sent in writing via email to Alexander Cancela at alexander.cancela@noaa.gov and must provide sufficient detail for the government to assess whether competition is feasible. The government reserves the right to determine sole-source justification based solely on responses received, and any information submitted will be used only to evaluate future procurement options.
