About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command, through the 87th Contracting Squadron, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source purchase order for two Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Machining Centers. The procurement is for the 305th Maintenance Squadron Aircraft Metals Technology section, which requires HAAS UMC-750 and VF-4SS CNC machines to increase production capabilities and perform reverse engineering of aircraft parts to address supply shortfalls. The intended sole source contractor is Phillips Corporation of Hanover, Maryland, which is identified as the sole distributor of new HAAS CNC machines for the federal government. The acquisition is being pursued under FAR 13.106-1(b) authority for soliciting from a single source, and this notice serves as market research rather than a competitive solicitation.
The purpose of this procurement is to enhance the Air Force's operational readiness through equipment standardization, reduce ownership costs, and improve production scalability in accordance with MFTO_AMT 24-001 standardization guidance. Interested contractors must submit capability statements by 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on July 30, 2025, via email to specified Air Force contracting personnel. Capability statements are limited to five pages using at least 10-point font and must include technical data and cost information demonstrating the contractor's ability to provide the required hardware and software. The government will use all responses solely for market research purposes to determine whether to proceed with the sole source award or conduct a competitive procurement. Only substantive capability statements with convincing evidence will be considered, while requests for documentation or submissions containing only questions will not qualify as affirmative responses.
