39 -- CRANE SURVEY DUE 070596 POC Margaret Gettings, Contracting Officer, 610-595-0505. CRANE SURVEY. The Navy Crane Center is conducting a market survey to determine the contractors, both foreign and domestic, who have the ability to satisfy the Navy's requirements over the next several years. The Navy Crane Center serves as the contracting agent for the purchase of cranes for the U.S. Navy shore establishment. We develop specifications, solicit and award contracts, review contractor designs, provide technical direction and oversight, and accept the cranes for the Navy. We are currently examining all aspects of the way we buy cranes with the intent of re-engineering our processes and organization. A major part of this initiative is to learn more about crane contractor capabilities so that we can better partner with industry. Additionally, if you have done business with us in the past, we are interested in hearing your recommendations to improve the way we specify and buy cranes. You can request a copy of the survey by calling Margaret Gettings at (610) 595-0505 or by visiting our website at http://www.efdnorth.navfac.navy.mil/cindex.htm. The survey may be downloaded from the website. Your response may be faxed to the Navy Crane Center at (610) 595-0747. (0165)
