The Army Contracting Command intends to issue a sole source solicitation for a hybrid services contract with Phillips Corporation to provide maintenance and support for Haas CNC machines at Tobyhanna Army Depot. This decision is based on the exclusive distribution rights Phillips holds as the only authorized provider for factory-certified services related to these machines. The contract includes preventative maintenance to uphold production tolerances, including various technical checks to maintain machine efficiency. The requirement spans one base year and four optional years, beginning February 2025. Interested contractors must submit a capability statement before the January 2025 deadline, although this notice does not solicit competitive proposals. The document emphasizes the specialized nature of the services and the critical need for properly trained technicians to avoid production disruptions. Moreover, all proprietary information from responses will be protected, and the government bears no responsibility for costs incurred during the proposal process.
The Performance Work Statement (PWS) describes a contract for preventive maintenance and emergency services on various CNC machines at the Tobyhanna Army Depot. The contract is non-personal, requiring the contractor to supply all necessary personnel and resources without government supervision. The services include annual preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, and detailed equipment reports to maintain optimal operation per OEM specifications.
Key objectives include ensuring machines run effectively to minimize production downtime, developing a Quality Control Plan to meet performance standards, and adhering to safety and environmental compliance regulations. The contractor must also assimilate security protocols for personnel accessing government facilities, such as passing background checks and maintaining proper identification.
Additional stipulations address training for contractor employees on various operational security and safety measures. The PWS outlines comprehensive responsibilities regarding environmental compliance, quality assurance, and reporting mechanisms, ensuring that both safety and operational integrity are upheld throughout the contract's duration.
