About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation's Industrial Plant Equipment Services Division issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of 2 Electric Pipe Benders from Hartech Group (6H3F3), which was awarded under contract SPE4A8-25-P-0193 on September 25, 2025. The sole source justification is based on the proprietary nature of the CNC programming controller for Numalliance's Eaton Leonard CNC Tube Benders, which requires compatibility with existing 600 programs that cannot be transferred to alternative systems. The government determined that reverse engineering would be cost-prohibitive and the original equipment manufacturer is unwilling to sell data rights, making Hartech Group the only known source capable of providing the required equipment. While the specific contract value has been redacted from the available documentation, the procurement falls under the Machine Tool Manufacturing NAICS category and involves specialized milling machine equipment. The justification document was signed by the Contracting Officer on February 24, 2025, with the synopsis originally planned for February 28, 2025, indicating this was a planned sole source acquisition executed later in the fiscal year.
