About this file

The document is a Salient Characteristics file for a specialized 30x3 Multi-Color Multi-material Polymer Extrusion Line solicitation. The U.S. Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground is seeking one (1) unit with specific technical requirements, including triple 30mm screw extruders capable of co-extruding multiple polymers like ABS, PLA, PET, and nylon. The system must feature co-extrusion dies, water and air cooling stages, optical diameter sensors, a programmable winder, specialized extrusion screws, resin dryers, and a line tension controller.

The solicitation is a 100% Small Business set-aside with a delivery timeline of 6-8 months after contract award. The procurement includes shipping, three years of maintenance parts, warranty, and technical support, with installation planned at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The contract (Solicitation Number W911QX-25-Q-A102) requires precise specifications for a high-performance polymer extrusion line, indicating a specialized manufacturing equipment procurement for advanced materials research or production capabilities.

Signature (typed name): ___________TBD__________________ Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)

The Contractor shall provide Quantity (qty) One (1) Unit 30x3 Multi-Color Multi-material Polymer Extrusion Line with the following minimum requirements:

1) Triple 30-millimeter (mm) screw extruders for simultaneous co-extrusion of polymers in a coaxial arrangement. Must be able to co-extrude multiple polymers into a single extrudate, including the following polymers: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene; polylactic acid; polyethylene terephthalate glycol; acrylonitrile styrene acrylate; polystyrene, polyethylene, nylon, and thermoplastic urethane

2) Dies for co-extrusion (extruding two polymers side-by-side) or tri-extrusion (extruding three polymers side-by-side).

3) Water- and air-cooling stages sufficient for production rates of 1 foot per second (ft/s) or greater.

4) Dual optical diameter sensor with closed loop control suitable for achieving diameters of 1.75 mm +/- 0.02 mm.

5) Line storage and three (3) axis programmable winder for spooling filament.

6) Extra extrusion screws specialized for fiber reinforced resins.

7) Hot air resin dryer and humidifying dryer for managing polymer pellet water content.

8) Line tension controller.

9) Cost includes shipping, spare parts (3 years of maintenance parts), and 3 years of warranty and technical support.

Delivery is six (6) to eight (8) months after contract award. Shipping and Machine installation will be at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21005 USA.
