The 15th Maintenance Group located on Hickam AFB currently has a HAAS TM-2 Computer Numerical Control mill which has been inoperable. Since the HAAS model TM2 is no longer in production, the HAAS TM2-P is being requested as the replacement for the outdated TM2 model. The current model is not currently procurable through the government supply chain limiting the range of availability to meet the specifications of the product. Due to the fact that the Haas system and associated attachments, software, and power grid requirments are already being used in the current location and throughout the Metals Technology Air Force career field, procurment of a different source at this time would create a degredation in turnover, training, and mission generation. Moreover, Phillips Corp, Inc is identified as the sole and exclusive distributor of Haas machinery. No other source would meet Government requirements as requested. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing), with a size standard of 500 employees. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive quotations.
