About this file
The document is a Sole Source Justification for honing oil procurement by Watervliet Arsenal (WVA). WVA requires QualiChem Q-Hone 782 honing oil due to the unavailability of their previous supplier's oil (OTW MB 300). QMP-SYRACUSE SUPPLY is identified as the sole vendor capable of supplying this specific honing oil, which is critical for M225A1 Mortar production.
The related federal contract opportunity shows the award was made to QMP Enterprises, Inc. under solicitation W911PT26FA003 for $41,750.00, with an award date of October 1, 2025. The procurement is managed by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal. The justification emphasizes the urgent nature of the procurement, noting that failure to purchase the specific honing oil would jeopardize production quality and machine operations for Inconel 60mm Mortars.

Sole Source Justification
WVA has an urgent requirement for QualiChem Q-Hone 782 honing oil. WVA has been using OTW MB 300 hone oil that was supplied by the hone manufacturer. The company is no longer in business and can’t supply us with oil. QualiChem brand of oil has not been confirmed to mix with the OTW MB 300 hone oil that’s currently in the machines. The WVA has proven out the QualChem oil in the hone operations for Inconel 60mm Mortars. Other honing oils will be tested as submitted. QMP-SYRACUSE SUPPLY is currently the only vendor available to supply this specific Honing Oil to Watervliet Arsenal (WVA). Additionally, there is not enough on-hand oil to replace the oil in the machines. If WVA does not immediately purchase Q- Hone 782, M225A1 Mortar production will be in jeopardy. A failure to urgently purchase QualiChem Q-Hone 782 honing oil will result in multiple honing machines be unable to produce required quality parts. Based on current delivery schedules, Syracuse Supply is the only source reasonably available for this procurement.
