ONE (1) CNC TURNING CENTER LATHE

DLA Aviation, a part of the Department of Defense, is conducting a sole-source procurement under solicitation SPE4A8-26-P-0030 for one HAAS ST-40L CNC Turning Center Lathe. The equipment will be delivered to and performed in San Diego, California. This acquisition is justified under FAR 6.302-1, as the HAAS ST-40L is the only responsible source capable of meeting the government's requirements without causing substantial duplication of costs. Specifically, the agency seeks to avoid the significant operational disruption and expense of rewriting approximately 200 existing proprietary machining programs that would be required if a different manufacturer's system were integrated. The procurement process included a market survey and sources sought notice, neither of which yielded viable alternative responses. Cost reasonableness was determined using historical contract prices and DCAA/DCMA recommended rates. The contract is managed by the DLA Aviation office in Richmond, Virginia, with Patrick Hansen serving as the contracting officer. While the specific contract value is not disclosed, the procurement follows FAR Part 12 for commercial items and FAR 13.5 for special acquisition test programs, with Phillips Federal (CAGE 3MPQ0), an authorized HAAS distributor, identified as the source.
