PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Analysis, Development, and Implementation of Manufacturing Technology for the Defense Industrial Base

1.0 PURPOSE: The purpose of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to define the requirements for Analysis, Development, and Implementation of Manufacturing Technology for the Defense Industrial Base.

1.1 Background:

Keeping pace with the rapid progression of advanced material and process applications in modern systems requires a focused initiative for the development and deployment of advanced manufacturing techniques. The Department of Defense (DoD) is continually seeking to transform to more cost-effective, sustainable and maintainable use of high performance materials and manufacturing techniques to further improve readiness through increased system availability and performance. There is a need for technical and management capabilities that can help conserve scarce funding through savings that would otherwise be lost through inefficient machining and manufacturing operations—or lost to non-U.S. operations.

Identifying technical and management opportunities, implementing the solutions, and transferring those solutions to the Defense Industrial Base is a needed function. Additionally, advanced manufacturing systems require a new and uniquely trained labor pool that has a broader understanding of materials, processes, tooling, and machine computer control systems.
