About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of a specialized powder machine that converts metal bar stock into metal powders for 3D printing and cold spray applications. The Naval Postgraduate School's Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department in Monterey, CA requires the M-175 equipment from Metal Powder Works, LLC in Clinton, PA to support the Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research and Education (CAMRE) educational and research objectives. The sole source justification is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing that only one responsible source exists capable of satisfying the agency's requirements, as market research confirmed no alternative vendors could provide equivalent mechanical metal powder conversion capabilities. The contract N0024425PS051 was awarded on August 5, 2025, with delivery required within 90 days of award and funded through FY25 Research, Development, Test & Evaluation funds. The M-175 system specifications include a powder collection unit with 220V/120V operation, maximum dimensions of 9' x 6' x 8', lathe spindle speed of 6000 RPM with 15 HP power, and versatility for processing multiple metal types including aluminum and steel alloys. While the specific award amount was not disclosed in the notice, the procurement supports critical defense research and manufacturing capabilities.
