This is a Justification for Sole Source Acquisition document ($15K-$350K) for replacement parts to support a ProHeat 35 Miller Induction Machine currently installed and utilized at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. The sole source manufacturer is MILLER ELECTRIC MFG. LLC (CAGE: 3BH04), with point of contact Samuel George at (346) 406-8318, located at 1635 W. Spencer St., Appleton, WI 54914.

Seven document numbers identify the required replacement parts and services: ProHeat 35 460-575 Volt components (6082-3805), Package Induction Cooler with Coolant (6082-3806), Running Gear for ProHeat 35 (6082-3807), 50-foot Output Cable Liquid Cooled (6082-3808), Liquid Cooled Heating Cable 50-foot (6082-3809), Temperature Sensor (6082-3810), and Cable Extension 25-foot Type K Armored (6082-3811), with quantities of two units each. The justification cites that these items are proprietary direct replacement parts specific to the Miller Induction Heating system with unique plug designs incompatible with other brands, making them essential for maintaining safe and proficient system operation. The equipment is required for upcoming Shafting Carrier overhauls to prevent work stoppages. The document was signed by the requestor on 3/23/2026 and approved by Contracting Officer Tricia Wintersteen on 6/3/2026, with DLA Weapons Support Puget Sound listed as the supporting activity (10/16/2025).
