Quick Summary
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst (NAWCADLKE) has awarded a firm fixed-price modification under an existing contract to procure a Spares Support Package for the Carrier Crash Salvage Crane (CCSC) and Amphibious Crash Salvage Crane (ACSC). This was a sole-source award to Allied Systems Company (ASC), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), with an estimated value of $486,700.00.
Scope of Work
This award covers the procurement of essential spares to support the ongoing maintenance of the CCSC and ACSC. These cranes are vital for maintaining Navy operational capabilities, and the spares package ensures their continued readiness and functionality.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Firm Fixed-Price Modification (under existing contract)
- Value: Estimated $486,700.00
- Set-Aside: Not applicable (Sole Source Justification)
- Award Date: March 26, 2026
Justification for Award
The award to Allied Systems Company (ASC) was made on a sole-source basis due to ASC being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the CCSC and ACSC. The government currently lacks the necessary Technical Data Package (TDP) required for competitive solicitation, which is not anticipated to be available until after a Physical Configuration Audit in February 2026. Delaying this procurement to qualify alternate sources would significantly impact Navy operational capabilities, requiring at least 12 months for retesting and qualification. Market research, including an RFI and synopsis, did not identify any capable alternate sources.
Future Outlook
The government currently has no plans to compete future contracts for these specific spares. However, they will assess competition if another potential source emerges.
