Contract Title: Advance Manufacturing for Defense Readiness Training

Date: January 29, 2026

1. GENERAL: This is a personnel service contract under which the personnel rendering the services are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees. The United States Government (USG) must not exercise supervision or control over the Contractor’s employees performing the tasks herein. Such contract employees must be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn shall be responsible to the U.S. Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor must provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to perform Advanced Manufacturing Training as defined in this PWS except for those items specified as government furnished property (GFP) and government furnished services (GFS). The contractor must meet the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: 1AD seeks six (6) training classes to gain knowledge and “how to” on current and future manufacturing methods to develop a skillset to sustain across military needs.

Training will enable students to become the teacher and utilize hands-on techniques to carry out future Army manufacturing innovations. At the end of the training, students will be able to design, manufacture, and qualify Final-Use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) components as listed in Attachment 3, reducing lead times and strengthening defense readiness.

1.3 Objectives: Through this training, the students will obtain a solid understanding of

Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, including GrabCAD, IdeaMaker, Autodesk Fusion, Mastercam, Feature Cam and SolidWorks. They will also develop the skills to design and build parts, as well as the expertise to diagnose issues with 3D printing and manufacturing equipment. All personnel attending the class will have to complete a hands-on capstone project to design, print, and manufacture final use OEM parts approved by Army Material Command

(AMC).

1.4 Scope: Classes will be held in facilities both on Fort Bliss, TX and off the installation within a

15-mile radius of the Iron Foundry located at 2674 Shannon Van Valzah Rd of Fort Bliss TX, 79916. At a minimum, three (3) classes will be held off the installation where the contractor will teach based on the contractor provided equipment per the PWS; the remaining three classes will be taught on Fort Bliss. 1st Armored Division will provide a facility where the contractor will teach students on Government owned equipment per the PWS. The contractor must plan, coordinate, manage and execute six classes over a 12-month period for a minimum of 8 students but not to exceed 10 students per class. Each class must be a minimum of 6 weeks but not exceed 8 weeks per class. Students will be evaluated at the end of the class by designing, printing and manufacturing a Final-Use OEM part within the approved data repository that demonstrates knowledge of all the skills and techniques taught during the class. Each class must teach the students the following topics at a minimum, spending one to two weeks on each of the topics:

• Engineering design using CAD and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) applications for design applications

• Reverse Engineering through blueprint interpretation; 3D scanning using the Handy scan Pro and preparing files for printing after 3D scanning

• Identify required post processing requirements, correct procedures, operations and hands on heat treating of materials using a wide selection of materials such as steel, aluminum, brass, copper

• Nondestructive Testing (NDT) using Visual, Ultrasonic, Radiographic, Liquid penetrant and magnetic testing; Additive Manufacturing (AM) machine operation and workflow using the structured and digitalized processes of specialized software, American

Welding Society (AWS) or American Society of Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) required testing standards for Nondestructive Examination (NDE)

• Capstone project with hands on design, print, and manufacturing of a part using required methods per blueprint requirements through Computer Numerical Control (CNC), 3D printing, or a combination of both processes
