Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the acquisition of a DMG MORI DMC 270 FD Universal Milling Machine. This sole-source procurement is intended to expand an existing Integrated Manufacturing Cell (IMC) at Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) in San Diego, CA, to meet increased demand for aircraft and engine repair.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for one (1) DMG MORI DMC 270 FD Universal Milling Machine. This machine must be fully compatible with the existing IMC, which utilizes DMG Mori's proprietary CELOS controller for automated data exchange and part shuttling. The expansion is critical for supporting the repair and maintenance of F/A-18E-F aircraft and LM2500 gas turbine engines.
Contract Details
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Sole Source)
- Statutory Authority: 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1)
- Estimated Value: Over $750,000, not exceeding $15,000,000. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined by the Contracting Officer.
- Published: March 9, 2026
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This acquisition is restricted to DMG MORI Federal Services, Inc. as the only known source capable of providing the required machine due to its proprietary system compatibility with the existing IMC.
Additional Notes
The existing IMC was procured under contract SPE4A8-20-C-0007. Replacing the DMG MORI machine with a different brand would necessitate duplicating the entire IMC, which is deemed not cost-effective or recoverable. A sources sought notice was previously posted on SAM.gov from February 19, 2025, to March 5, 2025, which only yielded a response from DMG Mori.
