SSJ 3D Scupper_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memorandum for a Navy contract with LulzBot for 3D printing equipment. The procurement involves nine ships worth of 3D printed couplers, with a total breakdown of one hundred thirty-five (135) forty-inch, thirty-five (35) six-inch couplers. The requested delivery date is 30 October 2025, and the estimated cost is redacted. LulzBot was selected as the sole source due to specific operational considerations, including their ability to print thermoplastic polyurethane and meet NAVSEA Technical Data Package (TDP) requirements. A vendor analysis revealed that other print farms were excluded due to factors such as location, print capacity, and inability to produce specific material prints. The justification notes that LulzBot was the only vendor capable of printing the required plastic types with compatible printers for the Navy's specific needs.
