Welding machine (brand name)

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a specific SANREX CORPORATION welding machine model (SANARG 300AP, P/N: IA-3000TP-U3E) through a brand name acquisition process. This welding machine features 208-230/460V, 3 phase input, 50/60Hz frequency, and 5-300A AC/DC output mode, weighing 53 lbs with dimensions of 16.5"H x 8.3"W x 17.7"D. The procurement will be conducted as a sole source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 utilizing commercial and simplified acquisition procedures, with award anticipated as a firm-fixed price supply contract. The justification for the brand name requirement stems from compatibility needs, as 80% of existing X26 machines require this specific item and Sanrex accessories cannot be easily substituted from other manufacturers. The solicitation is expected to be posted on SAM.GOV on August 25, 2025, with quotes due approximately August 29, 2025, and electronic submission via email is acceptable.

This procurement is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside opportunity, with SANREX CORPORATION and their authorized distributors identified as the eligible sources. The acquisition addresses a current shortage of welding machines at SRF-JRMC YOKOSUKA X26 facility, where existing equipment compatibility requirements necessitate this specific model. The required delivery timeline is 30 days after receipt of order or the best expedited delivery available. The item carries National Stock Number 3431-01-566-0644 and falls under NAICS code 333992 for Welding and Soldering Equipment Manufacturing. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the notice, the urgency indicated by the expedited delivery requirement and the sole source justification suggests this is a critical operational need for naval maintenance operations.
