About this IDV

This Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV), awarded on September 4, 2020, to the National Center For Manufacturing Sciences Inc. (NCMS) by the Army Materiel Command Research, Development and Engineering Command, establishes a multiple award vehicle with a ceiling value of $2.8 million for the base period. The contract focuses on prototype development and demonstration of an integrated manufacturing solution enabling industrial-scale production of near-net-shape, fully dense, complex cemented tungsten carbide (WC) parts. NCMS, a non-profit advanced manufacturing research organization headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, will leverage its expertise in collaborative government-industry-academic research to develop and demonstrate manufacturing technologies that address the specific metallurgical and production challenges associated with tungsten carbide component fabrication. The Army's investment in this prototype development aligns with broader defense modernization objectives to establish domestic, scalable manufacturing capabilities for advanced materials critical to military applications.

The IDV structure supports task order issuance for prototype development activities during the base period, with NCMS responsible for delivering innovations that transition laboratory-scale tungsten carbide production methods to industrial viability. This effort builds upon NCMS's established track record managing other advanced manufacturing research contracts focused on additive manufacturing, metal matrix composites, and high-performance materials development. The contract deliverables are expected to include prototype components, production process documentation, and technical demonstrations validating the feasibility of manufacturing near-net-shape, fully dense cemented carbide parts at scale—a capability that could enhance military equipment performance, reduce material waste, and strengthen domestic supply chain resilience for this critical defense material.
