Text4[0]: This procurement is for brand name Martin Trunnion Table. Martin is the original equipment manufacturer for all the trunnion tables here at Watervliet Arsenal (WVA). There are currently 2 Martin tables at WVA which have been in use since 2022. These Trunnion Tables have drastically reduced the manufacturing time of the M35 Rails and Rail Assemblies. This trunnion assembly needs to be perfectly compatible with our existing equipment configuration. The fitment of this trunnion assembly must be identical to the ones we are currently using, in the event of a breakdown it can be inserted into the production line rapidly. Any other brand will not match up and cause a halt in production. Thus, Martin is the only reasonably available source for this procurement, This office will post a solicitation on SAM.gov for brand name only.
