About this opportunity

The Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to CLIMAX PORTABLE for a specialized Flange Facer (Model FF8200) and Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) designed for armored military vehicles. The procurement will be conducted under FAR 13.106-1(b) on a noncompetitive basis, with specific technical requirements including ID mounting ranges from 45-120 inches, precise tool slide and head travel specifications, and hydraulic drive system capabilities. Potential respondents can submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations via the NAVWAR E-Commerce website by January 31, 2025. The agency previously issued a Request for Information between September 18 and October 9, 2024, to refine the technical specifications. Questions regarding the pre-solicitation can be directed to William Faulconer at the provided Navy email address.

The procurement is not set aside for small businesses, though the NAICS code 333517 has a size standard of 500 employees. The specific order includes one CLIMAX 105215 Flange Facer, one HP 93724 Laptop, and associated equipment with detailed technical configurations such as a rotary table, pneumatic feed assembly, and hydraulic drive system. The equipment is custom-designed with specific performance parameters, including operational temperature ranges from -10°F to 200°F, hydraulic flow rates of 10 gpm, and precise machining capabilities with flatness testing conducted in controlled environments. While no specific award value is mentioned, the procurement appears focused on acquiring highly specialized machining equipment for military vehicle maintenance or manufacturing. The government retains full discretion to determine whether to proceed with a competitive or sole-source procurement based on responses received.

-OSHA compliant
-Speed control allowing the operator to set repeatable speed settings and easily make small speed
adjustments when needed.
-Soft start/stop control ensuring smooth starting and stopping on large machines, preventing damage
to the drive and feed.
-Controlled deceleration preventing over-pressurization of the hydraulic system allowing the operator
to decelerate the machine tool in a safe and controlled manner, especially when the "Emergency Stop" is
used.
-Controlled motion of the machine tool minimizing sudden speed changes preventing rapid
acceleration when a cutting on uneven surfaces
-Replaceable cordset with quick connectors at both ends of the cable.
-Magnetic back allowing for convenient positioning of the pendant and preventing pendant from
falling.
