This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form for a federal contract acquisition submitted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for the Contracting Activity VICA.

The acquisition seeks a DMG Mori KBT-11EZ Horizontal Boring Mill with related services from Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY), valued at an undisclosed amount. The equipment is required for precision metal cutting used in manufacturing classified nuclear and non-nuclear components to support Navy fleet maintenance. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority, establishing that only one or a limited number of sources can furnish the required supplies and services. DMG Mori Federal Services is identified as the sole source capable of providing the equipment, as the HBMs are specifically designed proprietary machines with 2,500 programs developed, tested, and proven for manufacturing and repairing ship components efficiently. The acquisition will be synopsized on or about August 28, 2025, and dealers of the manufacturers will be solicited. The estimated cost to the Government for duplication of 2,500 programs is substantial, making competition impractical due to the proprietary geometry and modal codes. Sources indicating interest include DMG Mori Federal Services (CAGE 96XT6) and Kent Industrial USA (CAGE 4P8Z9). The justification was approved by Contracting Officer Richard D. Alexander, Jr. on August 7, 2025, and by Competition Advocate Yolanda C. Maupin on August 19, 2025.
