RFI for Additive Manufacturing (AM) /3D Printing Industry

The General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market research on Additive Manufacturing (AM) and 3D Printing capabilities under Special Item Number (SIN) 333249. The RFI seeks detailed information from industry vendors regarding their expertise in AM technologies, with a focus on metal consumables, equipment software, construction capabilities, and government sales experience. Vendors are required to submit comprehensive responses via email to gssmasprogram.gov by April 18, 2025, with submissions limited to a 10-page PDF or Word document. The government is specifically interested in gathering information about vendors' abilities to provide hardware, software, consumables, and associated services related to additive manufacturing. Evaluation criteria will likely include company details, socioeconomic status, government sales history, metal consumable offerings, 3D print construction capabilities, and American-made product specifications.

There are no specific set-aside designations for this RFI, and no incumbent contractors are mentioned in the documentation. While no specific award value or budget range is provided, the solicitation suggests this is a market research effort to potentially develop future contract opportunities under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. The NAICS category is classified under All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing (333248), with a Product Service Code focused on Additive Metal Materials (9630). The RFI emphasizes that this is purely a market research initiative and does not constitute a formal solicitation or guarantee of future contract award. Vendors will not be reimbursed for preparation costs, and the information collected will be used to identify potential sources for AM-related products and services.
