The document serves as a justification for a sole-source procurement of a direct OEM replacement part for the Betts-Bridgeford Shaft Lathe, specifically for the Z-Axis Traverse control. The replacement gearbox model, Winsmith-031XRHS113X0H7, must be sourced from Peerless-Winsmith Inc. due to the absence of compatible aftermarket options, which would require extensive re-engineering. To maintain operational integrity and precise performance in machining main drive shafts for naval vessels, the gearboxes must adhere strictly to original specifications, as any deviations could compromise machine reliability and safety. The request indicates a 17-19 week lead time for delivery with a required date set for January 1, 2025. This justification highlights the singular functionality and compatibility prerequisites for the requested service, reinforcing that only authorized distributor gearboxes can fulfill the operational needs without further complications or costs to the Federal Government. The document concludes with an affirmation of the provided information's accuracy and a certification of the sole-source requirement.
