About this opportunity
Army Contracting Command–Redstone Arsenal, on behalf of U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM), seeks innovative solutions for an Advanced Manufacturing Laser Powder Bed Fusion metal printer system for immediate integration at Corpus Christi Army Depot, with solution briefs due July 14, 2026 at 12:00 PM Central Daylight Time, and the deadline to submit Phase 1 questions extended to July 10, 2026 at 12:00 PM CDT.
Place of performance is Corpus Christi, Texas. The procurement is conducted under Army Open Solicitation W9128Z-25-S-A002 with no set-aside. The solution must deliver a Laser Powder Bed Fusion system with a build envelope of 245 x 245 x 325 mm, 400W to 1kW dual-laser system with full overlap, layer thickness of 25–120 micrometers, T2 laser safety certification, scanning speed up to 4.5 m/s with variable focus adjustment, focus diameter of 61–100 micrometers, and capability to print Ti6Al4V ELI Grade 23 titanium. The system must include 100% turnkey onsite installation with heavy equipment handling, facility transformers, ancillary equipment (powder containers, wet separators, build plates, sieve stations, re-coater blades), Windows-compatible CAD and 3D slicer software, Site Acceptance Testing, minimum four-year warranty (one year standard plus three-year extended), and comprehensive support with Monday–Friday phone and on-site coverage with 48-hour first response, preventative maintenance, spare parts, and three-day operator training for up to four CCAD personnel. Pre-installation site survey must occur within 12 months of receipt of order; machine installation and qualification by 20 months; operator training by 21 months. All contractor personnel must complete AT Level I Awareness training within 30 days of contract start and comply with installation access requirements, iWATCH Army briefing, and OPSEC training as applicable.
The Government intends to award Firm-Fixed-Price FAR Part 12 contracts or non-FAR Other Transaction agreements under DFARS 212.70. This is a three-phase process: Phase 1 (solution briefs not exceeding five pages or 15 slides), Phase 2 (pitch, optional), and Phase 3 (detailed proposal). Evaluation criteria in descending order of importance are technical merit and relevance, innovation and uniqueness, company viability, and price and affordability, with non-cost factors significantly more important than cost. The Government reserves the right to award multiple, single, or no awards based on fund availability. NAICS 333248, PSC 3695.
