Some of the benefits of utilizing our division for your Machine Tool Industrial Plant Equipment needs are:
-
Due to Reimbursable CAT 1 MIPR regulations, funds may be marked with obligation at acceptance instead of award, this allows longer and more complex projects that cross many fiscal years depending on funds expiration regulations.
-
All accessory needs such as foundations, installation services, training, tooling, CAD/CAM computers and software licenses, post processors, work cell setup (tool storage benches, Vidmar cabinets, shrinkfit machines, tool presetters, tool/grinding wheel balancing equipment etc.), and machinery accessories (pallets, tool holders, table tooling, custom fixturing) can be included in the same contracting action. Having a single vendor on a single contract be responsible for the entire project in addition to the machinery prevents potential delays from coordinating separate entities for additional work. Utilizing a single contract that includes all necessary items also allows the full cost of the machinery acquisition to be covered with the acquisition funding instead of utilizing operational funds to cover the extra items.
-
Full acceptance inspection including accuracy and alignment testing and the manufacturing and verification of test components
-
Compliance with DFAR regulations requiring FSG 34 acquisitions to be made through our organization.
