3D Printed Custom Scuppers

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division is seeking 3D printed custom scuppers through this sole source procurement to combat corrosion on surface fleet ships. The contract requires delivery of 3,690 total scuppers comprised of three different sizes: 2,430 4-inch scuppers, 630 6-inch scuppers, and 630 10-inch scuppers, all manufactured from gray thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material. The scuppers must be organized into 18 ship sets with two sets designated for each of nine ships, containing proportional mixes of the various scupper sizes. The procurement will be awarded on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, with quotes originally due September 16, 2025 at 9:00 AM, subsequently extended to September 17, 2025 at 9:00 AM. Offerors must provide pricing, company letterhead, CAGE code, point of contact information, GSA contract number if applicable, business size certification, and delivery lead times.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 333248 with a size standard of 750 employees, though it is structured as a sole source award to LulzBot based on their specific capabilities and previous work with NSWCCD Code 617 in FY23. LulzBot was selected as the sole source provider due to their ability to print thermoplastic polyurethane materials and meet NAVSEA Technical Data Package requirements, with other potential vendors excluded due to location, print capacity limitations, and inability to produce the required material specifications. The contract value is not disclosed in the available documentation, though the justification memorandum indicates the estimated cost has been redacted. Delivery is required by September 30, 2025, to the NSWCCD facility in Bethesda, Maryland, with work performance occurring in Westlake, Maryland. The procurement supports anti-corrosion efforts across the Navy's surface fleet through these custom-manufactured drainage components.
