About this opportunity
This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice from the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal was to procure additional Tacchi lathes from an unknown vendor for an unknown amount awarded on September 5, 2023. The justification cites that significant resources have been spent developing Tacchi-specific software, programming, and processes for the production of cannon tubes at the facility, and significant costs would be required to adapt these capabilities to non-Tacchi machine tools. As such, only the Tacchi lathes were considered capable of meeting the government's requirement for specialized, computer-controlled lathe equipment to manufacture cannon tubes for its customers.
Notice text
As described in FAR 13.501(a), procurement by other than
full and open competition is necessary, as there are no other sources that can provide this
specific machine tool to meet the needs of the Government. FAR 13.500 authorizes the use
of simplified procedures for the acquisition of supplies and services in amounts greater than
the simplified acquisition threshold, but not exceeding $7.5M, if the contracting officer
reasonably expects that offers will include only commercial items. In this case, the Tacchi
Lathes have been determined to be a commercial item. The required large computercontrolled
lathe is a highly specialized piece of precision, factory production equipment that
work with custom-produced software programs and an array of elaborate work holding and
cutting tools to produce cannon tubes for WVA’s customers. WVA’s computer programs and
hardware items are developed for use on a particular family of Tacchi machine tools and
cannot be easily transported to similar machine tools from different manufacturers.
Awarded contract W911PT23C0019 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2023-09-05.
