JA 3D printer - Posting_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a simplified acquisition below $250,000, focused on procuring a Modix 180X V4 large-scale 3D printer. The purchase request (12316392) is for a new requirement from Modix3D, located in Ramat Gan, Israel, with a brand name specification justification. The 3D printer is characterized by a large print volume (1800 x 600 x 600mm), advanced features like Griffin print head, automated calibration, and clog detection, and comes with a self-assembly kit.

Market research revealed limited competitive options, with only one identified reseller (MatterHackers) meeting small business qualification criteria. The government conducted extensive market surveys, including requests for information and quotes through various channels like CHESS, NASA SEWP, and GSA eBuy. The acquisition will be made as a full and open competition on SAM.gov to maximize competition, with the printer intended to reduce print time from several days to potentially just hours. The solicitation (W91ZLK-25-Q-A014) will use Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures, with quotes due by 4:30 PM EST on August 7, 2025.
