About this file

This document includes a sole source justification and details of a related federal contract opportunity. The sole source justification is for the procurement of two Excellon drill/router systems from Excellon Acquisition, LLC for use by the 402nd Electronics Maintenance Group at Robins Air Force Base. The justification cites the critical nature of the machines in the circuit board manufacturing process. Specific requirements for the systems include a minimum panel size of 16x18 inches, drill bit sizes from 0.002 to 0.25 inches, automatic tool changing, Windows 10 compatibility, and domestic OEM service availability. Only Excellon Acquisition can meet these requirements. Additionally, Excellon offered a credit for trading in old machines, making them the most cost-effective option. Familiarity with Excellon's CNC-7 software will also allow for a smooth transition. The related federal contract opportunity is for the procurement of the two Excellon systems along with necessary parts, labor, training and annual preventative maintenance from Excellon Acquisition, LLC for Robins Air Force Base.

The nature of these machines in the PCB manufacturing process is critical, if either the drill or the route process were to go down, production would be at a work stoppage. In order to prevent this, rapid OEM service/repairs and the duality/redundancy of interchangeable machines are necessary. In order to ensure the capability of the PCB shop to produce circuit boards, 2 machines, one configured for drilling, one configured for routing, with the option of converting both machines to do either job if needed are required.

(Interchangeable tool cassettes between machines). The following requirements are also needed:

Minimum panel size: 16" x 18" Drill bit size range at least: 0.002"-0.25" X/Y axis linear drive motors Automatic tool change Domestic OEM Service available Broken tool indicator Windows 10 operating system Vacuum Table

Excellon Acquisition, LLC is the only vendor capable of meeting these requirements.

Excellon Acquisition, LLC has offered a credit of on the purchase of the new machines for trading in the old machines, which can no longer be used due to the Win 10 mandate. This credit makes Excellon not only the sole vendor capable of meeting our requirements, but also the most cost effective.

Additionally, the technician's familiarity with the CNC-7 software and process flow with an Excellon machine with cater to a smooth transition and minimal downtime for production.
