About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the procurement of three CNC Jig Grinders with Fanuc controllers, along with associated foundation work, existing machine removal, IUID marking, shipping, and installation services. The procurement was justified as a sole source award based on market research indicating that the required Mitsu Seiki 17G-HD/7GAN machine with a minimum work table of 52" X 47" is exclusively available from Hardinge Group LLC, as alternative machines from competing manufacturers either do not meet the specified requirements or lack the necessary CNC capabilities for rebuilding to government specifications. A sources sought notice was posted for 45 days and generated only one response from the suggested sole source vendor, further supporting the sole source determination. The contract SPE4A826C0002 was awarded to an unnamed vendor on December 30, 2025, with the contract value redacted in the available documentation. The J&A received approvals from DLA Counsel Aviation, the Contracting Officer, and the Competition Advocate between February and April 2024, with future market research planned to assess whether competitive alternatives may become available to meet government requirements.
