THIS REQUIREMENT IS BEING ADVERTISED ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS FOR AWARD TO THE ANCHOR MARINE and INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY. PLEASE SEE APPROVED SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION. Provide a one time, urgent procurement under FAR 6.302-2 Unusual and compelling urgency, from a known vendor in possession of indicated anchor chain who is ready to ship the item/s to James River Reserve Fleet, 2606 Harrison Road, Fort Eustis, Virginia 23604 upon receipt of an order. During recent wind events, 2 ships broke loose of their moorings. JRRF used mooring gear on hand to temporarily secure the vessels.

The current mooring arrangement allows for 56 knots wind limitation in worst case direction, versus the desirable limitations of 87 knots.
