LPKF, Protomat S104 PCB Milling Machine System w/Fume Extractor ***Sole Source***

The Defense Microelectronics Activity is seeking to procure a LPKF Protomat S104 PCB Milling Machine System with a fume extractor as a sole source acquisition to fulfill an urgent engineering requirement for rapid, cost-effective onsite circuit board prototyping. This machine will enable the creation of low-volume and one-off circuit board designs critical to testing amplifiers, regulators, filters, and producing single-use test boards for load pull characterization. It is also essential to initiating embedded antenna design research and development, directly supporting the agency’s Quick Reaction Engineering initiatives by accelerating design validation and improving overall performance of mission-critical electronic systems. The acquisition is necessary to remove dependency on external vendors, reduce turnaround time, and maintain operational agility in support of high-priority defense electronics development. The solicitation number is HQ072726QJM01, posted on August 4, 2026, with a response deadline of August 12, 2026. The contract falls under NAICS code 335999 and is not subject to any set-aside provisions. The procurement is being managed by the Department of Defense through the Defense Microelectronics Activity located in McClellan, California, with the place of performance also in McClellan, CA, 95652. Primary point of contact for inquiries is Joe Molina, reachable via phone at 279-782-0796 or email at joe.molina8.civ@mail.mil. The system will be deployed directly within the organization’s facility to ensure immediate integration into existing engineering workflows and to sustain continuous support for time-sensitive defense technology projects.
