INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE TO TORMACH INC FOR A TORMACH CNC PCNC 440 MILL MILLING MACHINE

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Tormach Inc for a Tormach Computer Numerical Control (CNC) PCNC 440 Mill milling machine. The Government requires a compact, research-grade CNC milling system that operates on standard 110V power, fits within existing laboratory space, is compatible with existing CAD software, and is suitable for operation by non-machinist personnel. The Tormach PCNC 440 is the only known product that meets these minimum requirements. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 12.102(a). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within fifteen (15) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government.  A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government.  Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.  Any quotation/response should be emailed to Denedra Hardy at qfa5@cdc.gov by 10:00AM EDT July 24, 2026.
