About this opportunity
Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division issued a sole-source pre-solicitation notice on August 25, 2026 for the direct award of a firm fixed price purchase order to Fargo Additive Manufacturing Equipment 3D, LLC (dba Lulzbot) for 61 TAZ Workhorse+ Upgrade Kits (part #KT-BN0042); the acquisition is set aside for small business and will not be re-competed. The notice expires August 31, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. EST, after which the Government will issue a solicitation directly to the sole source without publishing a separate SAM.gov notice.
NSWCCD justified sole-source restriction under FAR 12.102(a) based on exclusive licensing agreements limiting complete packaged upgrade kits to the OEM, compatibility requirements with existing Lulzbot TAZ Workhorse 3D printer systems in XFAB and TACFAB facilities, and the technical necessity for complete upgrade kits rather than separately sourced components. Market research confirmed that Lulzbot is the only vendor offering the full upgrade kit as a packaged unit with complete installation information; other resellers sell components individually.
Quotations must be submitted to lametria.r.smith.civ@us.navy.mil and include official company name, point of contact with phone number, delivery lead time, CAGE code, and capability statement. Evaluation will be pass/fail on technical minimum requirements, followed by past performance assessment via SPRS, SAM, and FAPIIS. Award will be made to the vendor offering the most advantageous evaluated price among technically acceptable quotations; discussions will not be conducted. Delivery is FOB destination with all freight charges incorporated into line item pricing. NAICS code 333249 applies (business size standard 500 employees). Point of contact: Lametria Smith, 757-289-2667.
