Sole Source Award - HAAS CNC Machine Servicing

The 439th Contracting Squadron at Westover Air Reserve Base in Massachusetts, operating under the Department of the Air Force Reserve Command, issued this Special Notice on February 9, 2026, announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract to Phillips Corporation for servicing and repairing an existing HAAS milling machine. The notice is issued under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and represents a government notification of intent to proceed with a sole-source acquisition rather than a formal solicitation. The repair work encompasses labor, supervision, materials, and equipment necessary to service the HAAS milling machine located at Building 7072, 350 Hangar Avenue, Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee, Massachusetts. This Special Notice includes formal justification and approval documentation for the sole-source determination, posted in accordance with FAR 13.501(a)(iii) special documentation requirements.

The government's objective is to obtain factory-authorized repair services for HAAS CNC machinery, with the contract running from March 1, 2026, through February 28, 2030, at an estimated cost of $260,000 for the base year plus four option years. Phillips Corporation has been selected as the sole source because it is the exclusive distributor of HAAS CNC machines and factory-certified service provider for U.S. Government facilities, with its technicians being the only individuals authorized to perform warranty work on HAAS equipment. Only repairs performed by HAAS-certified technicians are warranted against defects, and Phillips exclusively employs all certified service technicians directly. The deadline for this notice is February 23, 2026, and the contract covers biannual and reactive servicing for four HAAS machines, including spare parts and maintenance services. No other contractors are eligible to participate in this award as Phillips Corporation holds the exclusive authorization from HAAS for government servicing.
