This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Non-NSN and LSN Acquisitions (AVN Form 555) submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency under FAR Part 13.5.

The Defense Logistics Agency is acquiring two Campbell Grinder Model 1000L800 CNC Vertical Grinding Machines for installation at the Fleet Readiness Center South East (FRCSE) in Jacksonville, Florida. The contractor must provide complete installation services and training to ensure full operational capability and interface with existing depot systems. The estimated contract value is redacted. This is a new action with a firm-fixed-price contract structure. The acquisition is restricted to Campbell Grinder Company (CAGE 18278) and HarTech Group LLC (CAGE 6H5F3) as the only sources capable of furnishing the required supplies and services under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). A source-sought notice was posted on SAM.gov on December 17, 2024, with three responses received confirming that these two entities are the exclusive providers meeting the government's technical requirements.

The justification cites substantial cost avoidance benefits and operational efficiencies from procuring the 1000L800 model, including the ability to freely transfer 70 weapon systems CNC programs from existing equipment, shared spare parts with FRCSE's two other Campbell grinder assets, reduced maintenance learning curves through a single platform, uniform training requirements, and minimized operator setup errors. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about March 3, 2025. The Contracting Officer (John H. Henley III) approved the justification on February 26, 2025, with Competition Advocate (Yolanda Calvin Maupin) approval dated March 6, 2025. The approval threshold is over $750,000 but not exceeding $15,000,000.
