JA EDM Warranty Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the 846th Test Squadron's Extended Warranty 2025 procurement for a Mitsubishi Wire Electronic Discharge Machine (EDM), model number MV4800. The document justifies a sole source contract with MC Machinery Systems, Inc. as the only authorized reseller/service provider for Mitsubishi. The contract is for an extended warranty to support complex rocket sleds, test track hardware, and test articles, where the existing warranty expired in March 2025, leaving critical mission support equipment without a repair plan.

The anticipated contract is a firm fixed-price procurement for a one (1) year performance period with options up to three (3) years, with an estimated total contract value redacted. The justification emphasizes the time-sensitive nature of the requirement, noting that without this extended warranty, equipment breakdowns could negatively impact mission schedules for National Defense weapon development programs. Mitsubishi Corporation holds proprietary rights to the technical design data and software source code, and has designated MC Machinery Systems as their sole U.S. OEM representative.
