This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document for a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support procurement at Puget Sound.

The contracting activity is procuring supplies on a non-competitive basis under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). The required supplies include one OMAX 5555 waterjet machining center (NSN 5555/30V), rigging services, and two units of training, all for various projects at Trident Refit Facility. The contract type is Firm-Fixed Price with Fixed Quantity and no options. The estimated contract value is redacted. The statutory authority permitting limited competition is based on unique capabilities: the OMAX 5555 Waterjet Machining Center can cut materials from plastic to glass, stone, ceramics, metals, and composites up to 10 times faster than conventional machines and achieve repeatability of 0.001-inch precision. Phillips Corporation, Federal Division (CAGE 3MPQ0) is identified as the sole source distributor of OMAX products for the Federal Government and the only approved source known to possess the required capability.

Market research and competition efforts include a Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov on June 22, 2026, which yielded no competing sources. A market survey conducted on the same date confirmed Phillips Federal as the sole source distributor for OMAX. The solicitation will be posted to SAM.gov for a minimum of five days. Price analysis will compare proposed prices to historical prices paid and may request certified cost or pricing data. The document includes a DLAD Procurement Note allowing alternate offers for Part Numbered items to encourage future competition. The justification was signed by the Technical Cognizance (TRFB Plant Equipment Manager) on July 15, 2026, and approved by the Contracting Officer on July 16, 2026. Approval authority at the Contracting Officer level applies for estimated values up to $10,000,000.
