This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, specifically for the Industrial Plant Equipment Services Division. The procurement is for 2 Electric Pipe Benders from Hartech Group (6H3F3), a sole source requirement. The CNC programming controller for the Numalliance's Eaton Leonard CNC Tube Benders is proprietary, with no other market source having a compatible controller to take the current 600 programs as-is. The government has determined that reverse engineering is cost-prohibitive, and the OEM is not willing to sell data rights. The acquisition is restricted to Hartech Group as the only known source capable of furnishing the required supplies. The planned synopsis date is February 28, 2025, and the document is signed by the Contracting Officer on 2/24/2025, with an estimated value that is redacted from the document.
