About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime. The procurement involves acquiring specialized equipment for the E.H. Wachs Custom Designed Adjustable Round Cutter (ARC) Trepanning System, with specific components including an adjustable round cutter, universal hydraulic drive, hydraulic power unit, and hydraulic hose set. The total quantity for each item is 2, with the procurement being restricted to E.H. Wachs as the sole source due to proprietary design and ownership of the system's engineering and manufacturing information.
The solicitation (SPMYM225Q1296) will be posted to SAM.GOV for 7 days, with a Sources Sought Notice previously posted on 3/28/25 that yielded 2 responses from small business vendors. However, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) will not quote directly to these vendors. The justification emphasizes that no other vendor can provide the ARC Trepanning System due to E.H. Wachs' proprietary components and design. The contract will be a fixed-price, fixed-quantity procurement, and the total value is redacted in the document. The DLA Land and Maritime encourages potential vendors interested in becoming an approved source to contact the Source Approval Monitor.

The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application. If one source is approved, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid. If at least two sources are approved or if data is adequate for an alternate source to qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.
