PLC upgrades for Blast and Paint

The Marine Corps Logistics Command in Albany, Georgia, is procuring replacement components for Allen Bradley Micrologix 1500 Programable Logic Controllers (PLCs) through a sole-source purchase order awarded to McNaughton-McKay, the sole authorized distributor for Allen Bradley parts, under CAGE code 0CFH4. This acquisition is justified under FAR Part 12 as a commercial item procurement, with sole-source authority cited under FAR 12.102(a) due to exclusive licensing agreements and mandatory technical compatibility requirements that restrict replacement components to authentic Allen Bradley Compact Logix 5380 series parts, eliminating any viable alternatives or substitutes. The action is non-competitive, with no set-aside applied, and the estimated value falls within the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000. The solicitation, numbered M6700426Q0026, was posted on April 23, 2026, with responses due by April 29, 2026. Performance is required at the Marine Corps Logistics Command in Albany, Georgia, with delivery expected as soon as possible to maintain mission-critical industrial control operations. The procurement does not include detailed pricing data, line items, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or packaging specifications. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the delivery location, with acceptance criteria based solely on the authenticity and compatibility of OEM components. Technical compliance is verified through internal certifications by government personnel, but no formal contracting officer’s representative, contractor certifications, or socioeconomic representations are documented. The acquisition excludes "brand name or equal" provisions, enforces brand exclusivity, and relies on internal approval documentation not fully itemized in the public record. No electronic invoicing method, accounting codes, or inspection standards beyond OEM authenticity are specified.
