This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) form for a non-competitive acquisition by the Defense Logistics Agency.

The Defense Logistics Agency seeks to acquire one DMG MORI DMC 270 FD Universal Milling Machine (P/N/LSN: 3417-N30000483) for an estimated value that is redacted. The acquisition is a new action under FAR Part 15 authority, justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for limited sources. The sole identified source of supply is DMG MORI Federal Services, Inc. (CAGE: 9CXT6). The justification cites substantial cost duplication that would result if a different manufacturer's universal milling machine were procured, as the equipment must integrate with the existing Integrated Manufacturing Cell (IMC) and its proprietary CELOS controller system, which is exclusive to DMG MORI. The DMC 270 FD machine is critical for incorporating automated universal milling capabilities to support machining operations for F/A-18 E-F Naval Aviation components and LM2500 gas turbine engines for Navy warships. A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.gov from February 19 to March 5, 2025, and only DMG MORI responded, confirming they are the sole capable provider. The acquisition is scheduled for synopsization on April 15, 2025. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through comparison of historically awarded contract prices and vendor pricing information. The Contracting Officer (Richard D. Alexander, Jr.) approved the justification on March 19, 2025, and the Competition Advocate (Antonio Torres) approved it on April 2, 2025, for a contract value exceeding $750,000 but not exceeding $15 million.
