Statement of Work Industrial 3D Printer

1.0 Requirement.

The awarded contractor shall provide timely delivery of Government requested material to the address provided below unless otherwise specified by the Government. The Government is procuring ONE (1) Industrial 3D printer. Awarded contractor shall provide quarterly (at a minimum) software maintenance releases to ensure IA and software vulnerabilities are addressed. Additionally, the awarded contractor shall provide wide access to self-paced learning/training portal for designing and printing composite parts.

2.0 Objective:

The objective of this purchase contract is to acquire a large format industrial 3D printer to prototype rapid response parts precisely and efficiently to produce components for developmental flight test. The 3D printer will afford rapid response to emerging technologies and reduce down time and schedule for developmental flight test. The 3D printer will support manufacturing, modifying, and maintaining flight test aircraft and programs.

3.0 Technical Requirements:

3.1 The 3D printer must possess the following features and specifications:

3.1.1. The offeror’s proposal must address, each of the following features and capabilities enumerated below and listed in the 3D printer Specifications table following. The proposal must address each by either stating the proposed system’s specification or by narrative description. Note that a blanket statement that the proposed solution meets the technical requirements listed in the solicitation is insufficient.

3.1.2. Mechanical Instrumentation Branch (MIB) currently houses and utilizes a Markforged X7 3D printer for generating flight test components and other prototyping needs. As such, MIB has a considerable amount of consumables and replaceable parts that must be interchangeable with a new printer to reduce maintenance cost, replacement part turnaround, and operational needs of the printer.

3.1.2.1 The 3D printer must be able to utilize nylon with micro carbon fibers filament as a standard product.

3.1.2.2 The 3D printer must be able to utilize fire retardant nylon with micro carbon fibers filament.

3.1.2.3 The 3D printer must be able to utilize Electrostatic discharge nylon with micro carbon fibers filament.

3.1.2.4 The 3D printer must be able to utilize Smooth TPU 95A filament.

3.1.2.5 The 3D printer must be able to utilize Precise PLA filament.

3.1.2.6 The 3D printer must contain active print calibration and adaptive laser bed leveling.

3.1.2.7 The 3D printer must be compatible to run on Digital Forge Essentials software and be approved to run on Navy IT Networked Systems.

3.1.2.8 The 3D printer must have a build volume of at least 330 x 270 x 200 mm.

3.1.2.9 The 3D printer must have a Z layer resolution of 50-200 um.

3.2. Deliverables

3.3 Printer Properties:

3.4 Additional requirement:

3.4.1 The proposal shall include the following:

3.4.2. Software/firmware updates as needed to fix problems and maintain Navy IA requirements.

3.4.3 Shipping costs for the system and any other necessary components.

3.4.5 List all of the major components, or subsystems, included in the proposed solution.

3.4.6. This list shall include all of the components, or subsystems, necessary to meet the technical requirements discussed above. Any components required to meet the requirements that are to be government furnished should be included in this list and noted as “Government Furnished Property”. Any pertinent details of those Government Furnished Property items should be stated in the proposal.

4.0 DELIVERY/LOGISTICS.

4.1 The contractor shall deliver the data/supplies /services to:

Mechanical Instrumentation Branch (MIB) Prototyping, Instrumentation, and Experimentation Dept. (PIE) 47765 Ranch Rd., Hanger 101 Patuxent River, MD 20670

4.2 Inspection and Acceptance of the items will be conducted at destination by authorized government personnel.

4.3 The government shall receive all items on or before two (2) weeks after receipt of the order (ARO).
