379 EMXS OMAX Water Jet Chiller

The 379th EMXS Metals Technology shop at Al Udeid Air Base is procuring a replacement OMAX Water Jet Chiller, specifically model PT10,000-BP-FF-460/3-SPEC. This acquisition, identified by solicitation number FA570225P0025, is being awarded as a single source to Phillips Corporation under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The procurement is managed by the Department of Defense through the 379 Econs agency. The justification for the non-competitive award is based on a Sole Exclusive Letter dated January 4, 2024, which confirms that Phillips Federal is the exclusive authorized distributor for OMAX products and services for federal government accounts. This exclusivity ensures the use of original equipment manufacturer parts and OMAX factory technicians, which is critical as the use of non-approved vendors would void the equipment warranties.
