Preventative maintenance for Kardex Remstar Vertical Storage Units

The contract was awarded to V & H Material Handling LLC for preventative maintenance services on Kardex Remstar Vertical Storage Units utilized by the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support, specifically under NAVSUP WSS Code N009 to support the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. The base performance period runs from June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027, with three optional one-year extension periods available. V & H is the sole authorized dealer and maintenance provider for Kardex Remstar VSUs in New York, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, and this exclusive authorization forms the legal basis for the sole-source procurement under FAR 12.102(a), as no other entity can perform the maintenance without voiding manufacturer warranties or compromising system integrity. The contract is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, and the contractor’s unique entity identifier is 3HPC4, confirming its small business status. Performance will occur at Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, where the units are located and operated by the government. The acquisition does not include competition due to proprietary restrictions tied to manufacturer specifications and warranty obligations, and no formal pricing, CLINs, or detailed performance metrics are provided in the available documentation. Oversight responsibilities fall to NAVSUP Flt Logistics Ctr Norfolk, with the contracting office located at 23511-3392 in Norfolk, Virginia, and point of contact information for Thomas Carey and Jacob Segal available for administrative inquiries. No additional specifications for packaging, inspection criteria, invoicing procedures, payment details, or contract administration personnel were included, and the procurement relies entirely on the manufacturer’s exclusivity to justify non-competitive award.
