AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Government is seeking information from industry regarding the capability of vendors to provide maintenance and diagnostic services for HAAS brand CNC Lathe Machines at the RTS-M training facility in Salina, Kansas. This is a sources sought notice, not a solicitation, and no contract will be awarded based on this announcement. The government intends to award a sole source contract to PHILLIPS Corporation, Federal Division, because HAAS Automation Inc. has officially authorized only this vendor to perform repairs on HAAS equipment for federal agencies due to proprietary system lockouts that prevent unauthorized service. The requirement falls under NAICS code 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair, with a small business size standard of $47 million, and the work is for non-personnel services without government supervision of the contractor’s personnel. Responses must include company details, proof of capability to perform at least 50% of the work with own employees, capacity to meet demand given current market conditions, compliance with FAR provisions for small business utilization and telecommunications equipment, and business size classification. All information submitted will be treated as For Official Use Only and retained indefinitely by the government. Responses are voluntary, unpaid, and due by August 17, 2026, with no site visits or industry days planned. The notice serves solely to assess market interest and determine if future competitive bidding is feasible, though the government has indicated a clear intent to proceed with a sole source award to PHILLIPS Corporation based on HAAS’s authorization restrictions.
