This is a Determination & Findings document for a single source procurement action by the 99th Contracting Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base. The acquisition seeks to procure, deliver, and install a HAAS Lathe for the 59th Test and Evaluation Squadron to replace obsolete lathes. The contracting officer justified the sole source action under RFO 11.204(a)(2)(ii) (Brand Name), determining that the particular HAAS brand is essential to meet government requirements due to compatibility with current shop infrastructure and proprietary systems.

The justification emphasizes that the facility utilizes HAAS equipment and the proprietary HAAS Computer Numerical Control (CNC) interface, and that introducing non-HAAS equipment would fragment programming workflows, maintenance protocols, and tooling integration. The HAAS system ensures immediate integration with current unit controls and inventories. The Contracting Officer, AMAL DJEZZAR, SSgt, USAF, approved this determination on July 21, 2026, finding the sole source action justified under applicable federal acquisition regulations. No pricing information, delivery dates, or contract vehicle details are specified in this document.
