About this file
This is a Decision to Restrict Competition document for a sole source acquisition of a 55,000 PSI Ultra High-Pressure Articulated Arm Waterjet System. The acquisition is identified as RFQ FA813227Q0001 and is authorized under 41 U.S.C 1901, FAR 12.201-1 Simplified Procedures, and FAR 12.102(b) Restricting Competition.
Progressive Surface Inc. has been determined as the only available source capable of meeting the government's requirements. The justification for sole source selection is based on the highly specialized and niche nature of waterjet stripping equipment for jet engine parts, with only a limited number of manufacturers providing custom-built machinery. Progressive Surface Inc. is the sole company meeting all required specifications without causing significant duplication of cost and effort. The company has demonstrated proven performance through three waterjet systems delivered under the competitively awarded contract FA8126-11-M-0059, as well as four follow-on sole source contracts awarded between 2017 and 2026. Progressive Surface Inc. possesses highly specialized capabilities and expertise applicable to all aircraft components currently processed by the 76 PMXG, with personnel demonstrating advanced knowledge of waterjet equipment function, operation, and maintenance. The document was signed by Jennifer Azbill, Contracting Officer, on September 30, 2026.
