This is a Memorandum to the File documenting a non-competitive sole-source acquisition justification for Climax Portable Machine Tools equipment under the simplified acquisition threshold.

The acquisition involves two Magnatech portable pipe welding machines specified for Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. The first item is a DOC 6638551 Magnatech Pipemaster Model 516E (50 feet, PN EB516EMJC000) with specifications including 100/240 VAC, 1.9-1 KVA, 50/60 Hz autoranging capability, 0-600 amps, digital controller, multi-pass welding for pipe and tube with torch rotation, filler wire feed, electronic arc gap, oscillation and cross-seam adjustment. The second item is a DOC 6638550 Magnatech Model 420P weld head assembly with standard profile weld angled AGC torch cable (PN 420PTCB00C), 0.84" to 14" range (21.34 mm to 355.60 mm outside diameter), designed for multi-pass orbital GTAW pipe-to-pipe fitting with carbon-based and exotic alloys. Both units are compatible with Pipemaster 515 and 516 models and support radial and axial clearance constraints. The required delivery date is May 29, 2026, with the dealer representative identified as JD Silvers of Newberg, Oregon. The justification for sole-source procurement is based on brand name requirements, as processes have been mocked up and training conducted specifically for these machines in support of US Naval Assets work. The technical specifications have been evaluated against engineering codes to meet performance requirements. The acquisition was technically certified by the Shop Process Lead at Pearl Harbor Naval on May 29, 2026, and approved by Contracting Officer Quincey Dillenback on June 9, 2026.
