Abstract
The absence of a long-term John L. Grove (JLG) Manlift Support service contract in the Pacific region has led to increased shipboard Government Purchase Card (GCPC) expenses. Currently, ships are responsible for procuring JLG Manlift Support rental equipment to meet operational readiness and preservation requirements. This research project aims to compare the previous NAVFAV JLG manlift support contract with the current ship-level rental model using GCPC. It analyzes expenditures, performance, requirements, contract options, and lessons learned. The goal is to develop a statement of objectives for a long-term JLG Manlift support contract that meets the needs of Cruiser-Destroyer vessels in the Pacific region. The collected data is used to determine the most cost-effective process that fulfills operational and safety requirements for Cruiser-Destroyer vessels. Based on the findings, a recommendation will be provided, suggesting the best path forward and the optimal Contract Type for long-term JLG Manlift Support. The analysis demonstrates potential savings through a centralized regional services model implemented via Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contracting over the next five years. This research is utilized to inform decision-making and improve procurement strategies to meet the specific needs of Cruiser-Destroyer vessels efficiently.
