Haas milling machine

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is procuring a Haas VF-5/50XT CNC milling machine through a sole source solicitation to replace a non-operational machine at the Trident Refit Facility (TRF) Bangor that is negatively impacting submarine refit projects and boat schedules. The procurement includes turn-key installation services encompassing delivery, rigging, set-up, testing, training, and all associated documentation including operation manuals, warranty information, and NRTL certification demonstrating OSHA compliance. Key contract requirements include a machine with 60-inch X-axis, 26-inch Y-axis, and 25-inch Z-axis travel capabilities, a 30 HP spindle with 7500 rpm maximum speed, and a 30+1 tool changer capacity that must be compatible with existing tooling and fixtures. The solicitation requires compliance with various federal acquisition regulations including cybersecurity provisions, telecommunications equipment restrictions, and supply chain security requirements. The original proposal deadline of September 23, 2025 at 12:00 PM was extended to September 25, 2025 at 8:00 AM due to specification documents not being initially uploaded to SAM.gov.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation despite initial references to small business set-aside in one document, as it is structured as a sole source acquisition from Haas under FAR 6.302-1 based on the unique compatibility requirements with existing equipment. The contract includes multiple CLINs covering the primary milling machine, installation services, manuals, warranty documentation, and NRTL certification, with installation required to be completed within 180 days of contract award. The machine must operate in a non-air conditioned manufacturing environment with temperatures ranging from 15 to 110°F and be compatible with 480VAC, 3-phase electrical service. Performance will occur at the Naval Base Kitsap facility in Silverdale, Washington, where the contractor must provide a 3-day training session for 1-5 personnel. The procurement includes a comprehensive one-year warranty or the manufacturer's standard warranty, whichever is greater, with all warranty work to be performed by factory-authorized distributors.
