SOLE SOURCE REDACTED .pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source procurement (TRFB 4491/3 form) for a contract award between $15,000 and $350,000. The document justifies restricting competition to Climax Portable Machine Tools, the sole source manufacturer of the required Motor Air Assembly (Modulathe), P/N 12983, with a unit price of $__ and a required delivery date of April 10, 2026. The procurement is controlled by DLA Weapons Support Puget Sound and categorized as PROCURE/SSEL with FED ONLY limited distribution control.

The justification is based on several factors: the item is a specialty component for a proprietary and now obsolete tool (flange facer) that only Climax can manufacture; the equipment must be compatible with existing systems currently installed in the shop, which possesses two specific model flange facers and two older versions that can use the requested motor; these are direct replacement parts for existing equipment that are vital repair components frequently used during standard refit periods for hull and backup valve repairs to sub-safe components; and proprietary data limits competition. The document was signed by Nathaniel Scott (Special Tools Coordinator) on June 10, 2026, and approved by contracting officer Armando Saya. The manufacturer's point of contact is Riley Berk at Climax Portable Machine Tools, located at 2712 East 2nd St., Newberg, OR 97132, phone 800-333-8311.
