Serv M25-006 APEC B and C Axis Alignment - Sole Source Justification1_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Justification for the 76th Maintenance Support Group (MXSG) at Tinker Air Force Base, seeking specialized services for the realignment and calibration of the B & C axis on an APEC 5-axis CNC machining center. Kansas Oklahoma Machine Tools (KOMT) is identified as the sole source vendor, with a fixed cost of $31,600.00 for the service. The unique configuration of the machine and KOMT's specialized technical expertise, including proprietary characteristics, exclusive software protocols, and trained technicians, justify the single-source procurement.

The document outlines that market research was conducted using the System for Award Management (SAM) databases, with a Sources Sought notice posted from May 27, 2025 to June 05, 2025, resulting in no responses. The government plans to conduct periodic market surveys to identify potential alternative vendors or technologies in the future. The justification is based on KOMT being the only vendor capable of meeting the government's specific requirements, with considerations for equipment integrity, safety, and operational readiness of multiple systems.
