About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a contract to MC Machinery Systems, Inc. for an extended warranty on a Mitsubishi Wire Electronic Discharge Machine (EDM) located at Holloman Air Force Base. The notice concerns a critical piece of equipment used by the 846th Test Squadron for manufacturing hypersonic sled parts, with the existing warranty set to expire in March 2025. The procurement is for a firm fixed-price purchase order to provide comprehensive repair services for a Mitsubishi Wire EDM, model MV4800 with Serial Number 58MV4243. The contract is being pursued under NAICS category 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance. The sole source justification is based on MC Machinery Systems being the only authorized reseller and service provider for Mitsubishi equipment in the United States.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to secure a one-year extended warranty contract with potential three-year options to ensure continuous operational capability of a mission-critical manufacturing machine. Potential contractors have until April 30, 2025, at 1:00 PM MDT to submit capability statements, with the anticipated contract award date of May 16, 2025. The contract will cover all parts, labor, travel, and expenses, including a yearly two-day preventive maintenance visit and Platinum Support Contract Benefits with 24/7 call-in service. Contractor eligibility is effectively limited to MC Machinery Systems, as they are the sole authorized representative for Mitsubishi, holding proprietary rights to technical design data and software source code. The contract is being awarded under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with a small business size standard of $12.5 million, though MC Machinery Systems is classified as a large business. The urgency of the procurement is underscored by the potential for equipment breakdowns to negatively impact national defense weapon development programs if the warranty is not renewed.
