What this contract is for

Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE / DEPT OF THE ARMY
Location: Bridgeport, WA
NAICS: 333517
Scope: Federal

General Information & Contracting Activity The U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Seattle District, Contracting Division, located at 4735 East Marginal Way South, Seattle, WA 98134-2388, hereby issues this Notice of Intent (NOI) to negotiate and award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Republic Machinery Co., Inc. (Republic Lagun).

This acquisition directly supports critical maintenance operations at Chief Joseph Dam (CJD) in Bridgeport, Washington.

Requirement Description & Salient Characteristics Under this proposed action, the Government intends to procure one (1) Lathe, complete with standard and specialized accessories.

The equipment is required to perform organic precision machining, fabrication, and repair of critical hydro turbine and generator components—including large slip rings—across the facility's 29 hydroelectric generating units.

To meet operational and engineering tolerances for heavy hydroelectric machinery, the lathe must incorporate two mandatory salient characteristics: Tri-V bedway construction to provide required rigidity and alignment stability, and a spindle bore diameter exceeding 3.0 inches (>3”) to accommodate specific shaft, sleeve, and tooling dimensions.

Statutory Authority & Sole-Source Justification This procurement is conducted under RFO 6.103-1(a) the authority of 41 U.S.C.

3304(a)(1) -the property or services needed by the agency are available from only one responsible source or only from a limited number of responsible sources and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the agency.

Due to the significant migration of domestic machine tool manufacturing overseas, commercially available, Buy American Act (BAA)-compliant engine lathes featuring specialized Tri-V ways are exceptionally limited.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
