This award was made under a Justification and Approval (J&A) for other than full and open competition due to emergency circumstances.

Justification for Sole Source
This action was justified under 41 U.S.C. § 1901(e)(2) due to the critical and emergency nature of the requirement. Two hydraulic cylinders at JT Myers Locks and Dam are failing, necessitating immediate repair to prevent potential river closures. Ram Corporation, Inc. was identified as the only reasonable source because a previous contract was abandoned, leaving eight cylinders in various stages of completion at their facility. Market research indicated other contractors were unsuitable for this time-sensitive emergency, and the cost of moving government-owned cylinders from Ram Corporation, Inc. was prohibitive.
