About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI · Sep 22, 2025

The U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command's 628th Contracting Squadron is seeking to procure one Bambu Lab X1-Carbon (X1C) Combo Deluxe Print Farm Bundle consisting of 12 high-performance 3D printers with associated accessories and support equipment for the Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina. This brand-name specific acquisition is being conducted as a Request for Quote (RFQ FA441825Q0082) for commercial products to expand the facility's capabilities for creating plaques, signs, and emblems for various Department of Defense Commands. The 3D printers must meet detailed technical specifications including a 256x256x256mm build volume, support for multiple filament types, automatic material systems for 4-color printing, RFID-enabled filament identification, and advanced features such as Lidar sensors and spaghetti detection. The procurement will be evaluated primarily on price with technical capability as a secondary factor, using a lowest-priced technically acceptable evaluation methodology. Quotes must be submitted by Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT via email to the designated contracting personnel, with delivery required within 30 days after contract award.

This acquisition is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 333248 (All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing) with a size standard of 750 employees. The brand-name restriction is justified because Bambu Lab X1C printers are the only approved brand in the Department of the Navy Application and Database Management System and have received Navy Information Technology Approval System authorization, making them uniquely qualified for this requirement. While no specific contract value is disclosed in the available documents, the procurement involves a comprehensive equipment package with 19 distinct items including printers, material systems, sensor units, cable assemblies, and specialized components. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price purchase order with quotes remaining valid for 45 days, and all offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Performance will occur at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, where the Naval Construction Brigade will utilize the equipment to enhance their manufacturing capabilities for Department of Defense command materials.
