II. OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION

A. Overview and Purpose:

Capability Focus Area 1 (CFA1) for HQ003425BOTA1 is managed by Office of the Undersecretary of War Research and Engineering (OUSW(R&E)) Manufacturing Technology program (ManTech). The OUSW(R&E) is the principal advisor to the Secretary and Deputy Secretary of War for all matters regarding the Department of War Research and Engineering (DoW(R&E)) enterprise, defense R&E, technology development, technology transition, developmental prototyping, experimentation, developmental testing activities and programs, and unifying defense R&E efforts. The OUSW(R&E) also serves as the Chief Technology Officer for the DoW with the mission of advancing technology and innovation within the DoW.

CFA1 is issued against BOTA HQ003425BOTA1 to solicit submissions that address concepts and technologies to enable Multi-Modal Agile Manufacturing in support of improved Contested Logistics Technologies.

B. Description of Opportunity:

DoW seeks technology solutions that incorporate multi-modal agile manufacturing to advance operational continuity for Contested Logistics using new manufacturing processes and/or emerging production technologies. Specifically, DoW is interested in pilot production cells capable of integrating elements such as digitized design, additive manufacturing, robotics, joining, and assembly to create a finished metal part from powdered metal feedstocks. Solutions should prioritize high product mix and rapid cycle times for parts production and sustainment. Solutions must clearly identify the technology they intend to demonstrate, where it would be demonstrated, and any technology development needed to ensure success, metrics of success. Solutions must include maximum part dimensions, material types and properties, suitability for part certification/qualification, and expected production rates and capacity for parts of at least 16 inches in any one dimension.

The DoW has established a target of a 24-month performance period and $15M in federal funding for this prototype. Proposals that exceed these parameters will be considered if accompanied by a compelling justification that details the added value, innovation, and rationale for the increased cost.
