AI Contract Overview
The Arnold Engineering Development Complex at Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee, intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Phillips Corporation for one HAAS horizontal CNC lathe under a firm fixed-price contract, leveraging restricted competition due to the unique compatibility requirements with existing AEDC infrastructure, including operator training, programming software, and tooling. Market research conducted through three Requests for Information and a Sources Sought notice on SAM.gov confirmed that no other source can satisfy the requirement, and Phillips Corporation is the sole authorized federal reseller for HAAS equipment. This procurement is conducted under simplified acquisition procedures per FAR 12.102(a) and 12.201-1, as the value is at or below the simplified acquisition threshold, and the Contracting Officer has documented the justification for single-source competition. The solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 333517, with a size standard of 500 employees, and all responses are due electronically by 10:00 AM CDT on Thursday, 21 May 2026. If no favorable responses are received, the contract will be negotiated directly with Phillips Corporation. The lathe must be delivered FOB destination to Arnold Air Force Base within 10 weeks of award, with all packaging and labeling conforming to specified requirements including Defense Contract Administration Activity Code, delivery address, and point of contact. The Government will inspect and accept the equipment upon delivery at the designated DoDAAC, and payment will be processed electronically through Wide Area WorkFlow in accordance with contract clause 252.232-7006. The solicitation incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses related to commercial item acquisition, small business set-asides, cybersecurity, labor practices, supply chain restrictions including prohibitions on Xinjiang-sourced goods and covered defense telecommunications equipment, whistleblower protections, and subcontracting safeguards. Offerors must provide their Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, confirm they are an authorized HAAS reseller, and submit documentation proving technical compliance with the specified lathe requirements outlined in Attachment 1. The basis of award is expected to follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, though the Government reserves the right to select a non-lowest-priced offer. No formal evaluation weights or risk ratings are specified, and the decision to award without competition remains solely within the Government’s discretion.
