About this opportunity
The Office of the Undersecretary of War Research and Engineering (OUSW(R&E)) Manufacturing Technology program is soliciting advanced manufacturing prototype solutions for Multi-Modal Agile Manufacturing in support of Contested Logistics Technologies under Capability Focus Area 1 (CFA1). The Department of War is seeking technology solutions that integrate digitized design, additive manufacturing, robotics, joining, and assembly capabilities to produce finished metal parts from powdered metal feedstocks with high product mix capability and rapid cycle times. Eligible sources must meet requirements under 10 U.S.C. 4022(d), and responses must be submitted in White Paper format (not exceeding five pages excluding the title page) along with an Affirmation of Business Status Certification. Submissions must address key performance parameters including maximum part dimensions, material types and properties, part certification/qualification suitability, expected production rates for parts at least 16 inches in any one dimension, technology demonstration location, and required development activities. The proposal deadline is April 24, 2026, and inquiries should be directed to Stephanie Koessel (Stephanie.P.Koessel.civ@mail.mil) for general questions or Kyle Cobb (kyle.w.cobb.civ@us.navy.mil) for technical questions.
This solicitation has no set-aside designations and carries a target federal funding allocation of $15 million with a proposed 24-month performance period, though proposals exceeding these parameters will be considered if accompanied by compelling justification. Traditional Defense Contractors must provide at least one-third of the total prototype project cost unless alternative requirements are pursued under 10 U.S.C. 4022(d)(1)(D). No incumbent contractors or current contract holders are identified in the solicitation materials. Responses must include identification of all significant participants and detailed descriptions of their specific contributions to the project. The place of performance is Washington, VA 20301, USA, and all submissions should reference BOTA number HQ003425BOTA and CFA #1 in correspondence, with delivery via email to whs.mc-alex.ad.mbx.rpab@mail.mil.
