This file is an Industry Day informational document providing a hyperlink to a video presentation for the Endless Forge solicitation (FA2394-26-R-B003). The document directs interested parties to a YouTube video link (https://youtu.be/ORGR2PFsfgg) where the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) presented details about the Endless Forge initiative during an industry day event.

Endless Forge represents a Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS) program designed to establish an adaptive, surge-capable, resilient, and scalable manufacturing capability that supports U.S. industrial base dominance. The initiative represents a paradigm shift from traditional vertically integrated supply chains toward regionalized, fast-acting production networks capable of scaling weapon systems rapidly through a platform-agnostic approach responsive to battlefield performance requirements. AFRL is seeking innovative products, technologies, and services aligned with specified Areas of Interest. The solicitation (issued by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory) includes Amendment 1 with highlighted updates, three sets of Questions and Answers documents, and industry day presentation charts in addition to the video briefing. All Q&A responses remain valid and in force concurrent with Amendment 1.
