Gantry milling assembly

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is soliciting quotes for a Gantry Milling Assembly (Model #LM6200) to be delivered to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington. The required milling machine must include specific technical capabilities such as a ridged track system, modular design, 97-inch cutting length travel, ball screw positioning, 120V electric feed motor, and a programmable logic controller (PLC) with three-dimensional motor control. Vendors must submit comprehensive quotes including manufacturer specifications, lead time, FOB destination pricing, CAGE code, company size designation, part numbers, and redacted manufacturer communications. All quotes must be submitted via email to kim.vo@dla.mil by 10:00 AM Pacific Time on July 17, 2025, with complete documentation including signed solicitation forms and compliance with DFARS 252.204-7019 & 252.204-2020 requirements. Additionally, vendors must upload a self-assessment score to the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) to be eligible for award consideration.

Despite the solicitation description indicating it is set aside for small businesses, the primary contract opportunity listing shows "No Set-Aside Used," creating some ambiguity in the designation. The solicitation specifically requires that the Gantry Milling Assembly be manufactured by Climax Portable Machine Tools and include multiple specific part numbers as part of the complete assembly. The contract does not specify award values or budget ranges, nor does it indicate quantities beyond the single unit implied by the technical specifications. The place of performance is clearly designated as Bremerton, Washington 98312, with delivery required on an FOB destination basis. The extremely tight timeline, with quotes due just one day after posting, suggests this may be an urgent procurement requirement for the naval shipyard's operations.
