HAAS Phillips Redacted JA.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for use of other than full and open competition for a federal contract award.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) is awarding a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) order under the General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program to Phillips Corporation (7390 Coca Cola Dr, STE 200, Hanover, Maryland 21076-1937) for the procurement of a HAAS Vertical Machining Center (VMC Model VF-8/40). The contracting activity is NSWC IHD, Contracts Division 023. The order will be funded through FY26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funds. Expected shipment is no later than 60 days after receipt of order. The statutory authority for restricting competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), based on the determination that only one responsible source can satisfy agency needs.

The procurement includes the HAAS VMC and approximately 65 associated line items including spindle assemblies, rotary products, memory expansion, tooling kits, hydraulic components, servo rotary tables, accessories, software, training, and delivery/installation/rigging services. Phillips Corporation is identified as the only authorized GSA MAS holder capable of providing the HAAS VMC with the required equipment and support services. The justification emphasizes that the government has made significant prior investment in the HAAS ecosystem, with technicians fully trained on HAAS controls and custom CAM software designed specifically for HAAS machinery, making migration to an alternative Original Equipment Manufacturer impractical and cost-prohibitive due to reprogramming requirements, technician retraining, and potential project delays on critical RDT&E initiatives. The Procuring Contracting Officer, Kristina Chisley (0232), approved the J&A. The total estimated cost is redacted in the document.
