Redacted Justification for Other Than Full And Open Competition.pdf

This Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document is for the Defense Logistics Agency seeking to procure three CNC Jig Grinders with Fanuc controllers. The procurement involves complete machine acquisition, including foundation, removal of existing machine, IUID, shipping, and installation. Market research determined that only Mitsui Seiki (CAGE 21730) can provide a CNC grinding machine meeting specific requirements, with a work table of at least 52" X 47". Hardinge Hauser 2000 was cited as the specific model meeting the government's needs, with a work table of 25.6" x 17.01" and a work area of 30.32" x 24.8". The agency conducted a 45-day sources sought notice and received only one response from the suggested sole source. The estimated value is redacted, and the acquisition is being processed under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for a limited number of sources. The document includes approvals from the DLA Counsel, Contracting Officer, and Competition Advocate, with final approval dates in February and April 2024.
