7 EMS UMC 750 SS & Omax 60120 Critical Repairs

7 EMS/Metals Technology section requires critical maintenance and a geometry correction for the UMC 750 SS Machining Center CNC machine. Due to routine and constant use, parts such as the spindle motor has failed and other components wear and cause the machines to lose tight tolerance required during the manufacture of aircraft components. Additionally, 7 EMS requires the Omax 60120 Waterjet, Top Assy: 9-Axis, A-JET part to be replaced due to Z axis and TX axis overload.

Phillips Federal Division is the sole provider for retail and service for HAAS and OMAX brand equipment. They are the only vendor authorized to represent these companies in the federal sector. The manufacturer letters from HAAS and OMAX stating this have been provided. There are no other brands that currently offer comparable machines that meet 7 EMS specification requirements. Based on replacement pricing of current equipment, if this became an option in the future, the cost would be estimated at roughly $280,000 for the UMC 750 SS. and $315,000 for the OMAX 60120 Waterjet.

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
