About this file

This document is a Justification for Sole Source procurement under the FAR 13.106(b) for a direct replacement gearbox for a Betts-Bridgeford Shaft Lathe. The required gearbox is a Peerless-Winsmith Model 31H, Model#031XRHS113X0H7, which is only available through the OEM manufacturer and its authorized distributor, Applied Industrial Technologies.

The justification cites the need for the replacement gearbox to precisely match the form, fit, and function of the existing gearbox in order to maintain the proper operation and performance of the shaft lathe's Z-axis carriage drive system. Non-OEM replacement gearboxes would require extensive re-engineering and could detrimentally impact the machine's ability to consistently manufacture naval vessel drive shafts to required tolerances. The estimated cost is $5,000 - $250,000 with a required delivery date of 1/1/25 and a 17-19 week lead time.

JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE ($5k-$250k) Ref: FAR 13.106(b)

The service or material listed on (Document number)__ 3287-9245_ is sole source and competition must be restricted to one source, or to only one brand name for reasons indicated below. There are no substitutes available for this material.

Restricted to the following source or brand name. Provide original manufacturer's name.

(If a sole source manufacturer distributes via dealers, ALSO provide dealer information.)

Manufacturer: Peerless-Winsmith INC Manufacturer: 1-716-592-9310 Mfr. Address: 172 Eaton Street, Springville, NY 14141 Manufacturers Dealer/Rep: Applied Industrial Technologies 1-253-383-5363 Dealer/Rep Address/Phone Number: 1 Applied Plaza Cleveland, OH 44115

_X_ Description of the item or service required, the estimated cost, and required delivery date.

Direct OEM replacement part for Betts-Bridgeford Shaft Lathe Asset#4523AC0526, South Carriage Z-Axis Traverse control.

OEM Manufacture: Peerless- Model 31H, Model#031XRHS113X0H7, RPM=1800, HP=6.75, Ratio=107.20 Applied Industrial (Authorized Winsmith Distributor) 2ea: P/N: Winsmith-031XRHS113X0H7 (17-19 week Lead Time)

RDD: 1/1/25

_X_Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source or particular brand name (unique features, function of the item, etc.).

Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

There are no available aftermarket Gearboxes that are interchangeable with the Betts- Bridgeford Shaft Lathe without extensive re-engineering of machine carriage traverse motion control system. The gearboxes are available through authorized distributors only. Only a Direct OEM replacement gearbox will guarantee the return of this machine to its original functional capacity with the ability to hold required precision geometric tolerances, surface finishes on manufactured production parts, and proper operation of the traverse carriage motion control system. The replacement Gearboxes must be made by the original manufacture and built to the exact specification within engineered specifications/tolerances, horsepower, torque, and overhung load ratings, manufactured out of OEM material selection to the original overall dimensions to fit into existing machine castings to connect/operate with existing Fanuc drive motor input and gearbox output shaft connections and operate in tandem with existing gearbox master/slave configuration.

Deviation from OEM specifications will render the shaft lathes south carriage Z-Axis traverse control system capabilities of this machine inoperable and detrimentally effect the Navy ability to machine main drive shafts for naval vessel overhauls.

_X_The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the government

CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

_X_The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed. Justi Describe the equipment you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

The current gearboxes installed on the Bridgeford Shaft Lathe are manufactured by Peerless Winsmith INC. Gearbox configuration is a H Model 31H, Model#031XRHS113X0H7, RPM=1800, HP=6.75, Ratio=107.20. The shaft lathes Z-axis carriage drive system operates through the use of two tandem drive motors with connected gear reducers (Master/Salve) via electronic controls to provide synchronized carriage motion and elimination of backlash. The replacement Gearboxes must be made by the original manufacture and built to the exact specification within engineered specifications & tolerances, Horsepower, Torque, and overhung load ratings, manufactured out of OEM material selection to the original overall dimensions to fit into existing machine castings to connect/operate with existing Fanuc dDrive motor input and gearbox output shaft connection and operate in tandem with existing gearbox master/slave configuration. Only direct OEM manufacture gearboxes via authorized distributors shall be used. This will guarantee that the new gearboxes will meet the form/fit and function when installed on the machine within the original designed specification/tolerances without any needed modifications to the existing configuration, overall structure, or complete re-engineering of machine systems/components to try and possibly achieve OEM specifications with non OEM replacement gearboxes. The requested gearboxes must bring this machine back to OEM specifications or better in order to continue to use this machine as a valued piece of Industrial Plant Equipment capable of consistent machining repeatability and production machine reliability.

Deviation from OEM specifications would result in, premature failure of components causing additional damage to this machine thus ultimately rendering this machine inoperable and accruing additional cost to the Federal Government to make/aquire the proper repair parts and perform additional unnecessary repairs, risk to personnel injury due to improper machine main drive shafts for naval vessel overhauls.
