REQUEST FOR QUOTATION

RFQ #2026066 – 22 IDEX V4 3D Printer

A. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Purpose This request is for a 3D printer to enable fabrication of customized and specialized components needed for maintaining testing efficiency of off-road vehicles. This new printer will serve as a critical tool for producing custom components, fixtures, and attachments in-house—items frequently needed during iterative testing and prototyping but not reliably sourced through conventional means. Notably, it will enable fabrication of highly customized and specialized parts, such as sampling lines/ducts, which are difficult—if not impossible—to obtain via standard procurement channels. Outsourcing such work is likely infeasible or highly uncertain; and even, if possible, would introduce extended lead times, increased costs, and project delays, all of which are incompatible with our current workflow demands. In addition, the printer supports fiber-reinforced composites and engineering-grade thermoplastics, which align directly with our operational requirements. These materials offer strength, durability, impact resistance, and chemical resilience needed for components operating under the harsh conditions typical of off-road field testing.

2. Requirements

· The resulting contract will be a Purchase Order (PO).

· Items purchased under this PO must be within the specifications required.

· Substitutions or product deviations will only be accepted upon CARB approval.

· Upon PO execution, products must be delivered within 45 working days after receipt of the order to the specified location or mutually agreed upon by both parties.

· CARB retains the right to return defective products, and to be compensated prior to final payment issued against the PO.

· Freight: FOB Destination Only for this RFQ. Include all freight, shipping and/or handling fees in the unit price.

C. REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIFICATIONS

These components provided by the Contractor are used to manufacture custom parts that improve operational efficiency and provide the flexibility required for off-road vehicle testing and development. The 3D printer must be capable of processing high-temperature engineering filaments such as Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) and ULTEM®, which offer exceptional thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength, making them well suited for demanding applications near engines, exhaust systems, and other high-temperature vehicle components. In addition, the printer must support a range of commonly used prototyping materials, including ABS, PLA, PETG, Polycarbonate (PC), TPU, and soluble support materials, enabling the rapid production of functional prototypes. To ensure optimal print quality and material performance, an oven and vacuum chamber are required to dry filaments prior to printing, reducing moisture-related defects and improving dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties. A fume extraction system is also required to safely remove airborne particles and fumes generated during printer operation, supporting a safe and compliant working environment.
