About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Hood has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to 3D Systems Inc. for 3D printer maintenance services at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. The contract, valued at $39,140.00, covers maintenance and repair services for two 3D printers including the OBS, ProX 500 Printer, and MQC Combo systems on the US Army SLA ProX 950 System. The procurement authority is based on FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which permits sole source contracting when only one source is reasonably available. The contracting activity has determined that 3D Systems Inc. is the original equipment manufacturer and exclusive authorized service provider for these specialized printer systems. The notice was posted on June 27, 2025, with responses due by July 4, 2025.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the government's intent to proceed with a non-competitive procurement rather than solicit competitive proposals. Market research was conducted from June 12-23, 2025, through a sources sought notice on SAM.gov to identify potential small business sources, but no responses were received demonstrating capability to meet the requirements. The two-year contract will include one base year and one option year, providing preventative maintenance visits, on-site labor support, after-hours service, spare parts replacement, technical support, software updates, and next-day parts shipping. Interested parties may express their interest by emailing the contracting officer at jonathan.f.chatman.civ@army.mil, though no formal solicitation will be issued. The government reserves complete discretion in determining whether to compete this procurement, and the sole source justification documentation has been attached to support the decision.
