This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document for a sole-source procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support (Puget Sound) under Solicitation No. SPMYM226Q7901.

The procurement seeks to acquire one (1) OEM Haas EC-1600 horizontal milling center, rigging services, and training for various projects at Trident Refit Facility. This is a fixed-quantity, one-time buy under a Firm-Fixed Price contract type. The justification for sole-source procurement is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing the requirement for spare parts that are form, fit, and functionally interchangeable with parts currently used on the Trident Refit Facility's supported end item. The acquisition is restricted to Phillips Corporation, Federal Division (CAGE 3MPQ0), the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies and the only source currently approved by the design control activity. The specific need addresses the replacement of a Haas EC-1600 machine deemed beyond economical repair, which serves as a direct, exact-match replacement critical to active submarine refit and maintenance schedules, particularly for the Columbia-class submarine program. The Government conducted market research through a Sources Sought notice posted to SAM.gov on 8/5/26 for five business days, which yielded two responses: Phillips Corp Federal and CNC Machine Services, Inc. CNC Machine Services proposed an alternative Mazak HCN-10800, which the technical evaluation team determined technically unacceptable due to facility space constraints, multi-part table configurations, and workforce training requirements. The Government determined anticipated costs to be fair and reasonable based on price comparison analysis and historical pricing data. The RFQ will be posted to SAM.gov for a minimum of five days. The justification was signed by the Machine Shop Training Supervisor on August 12, 2026, and approved by the Contracting Officer on August 17, 2026. The document includes provisions allowing alternate offers under DLAD Procurement Note L04 for future procurements of the same item, with all AMSC codes except AMSC B permitted for consideration.
