About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation issued Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice SPE4A8-25-P-0003 for the acquisition of two CNC tube benders from Ajax Tocco Magneherim Corporation to support F/A-18 aircraft weapon platform maintenance. The justification for sole source procurement, filed under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), centers on the proprietary design and unique engineering requirements of these specialized tools, which preclude competitive procurement. The original equipment manufacturer, Pines Engineering, declined to provide data rights for tooling integration, and reverse engineering was determined to be cost-prohibitive, leaving no viable competitive alternatives. The contract was awarded on November 6, 2025, though the specific award amount was not disclosed in the available documentation. A market survey was conducted prior to award, and the acquisition was synopsized for potential competition among dealers and manufacturers of similar products.
