Justification for the Pre-Identified Supplier 
Delcor Equipment is the only known company capable of providing a product to meet the required criteria.

There is limited cargo space available in the hold after all other building materials have been stored.  In addition, an all-in-one unit is required, as it will be hoisted out of the hold with the ship crane for use during construction activities.
