Small Business Set Aside for FormLab Brand 4 and 4L 3D Printers per attachments

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is procuring FormLab Brand 3D printing equipment consisting of one Form 4L Basic Package (TAA-compliant), one Form 4 Printer, and various associated components including build platforms, resin tanks, mixers, a finish kit, and a Form Wash second generation unit. This procurement supports diving and life support technology prototyping at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division, where the specialized FormLabs equipment will provide unique technical capabilities including Low Force Display technology, faster production times, and compatibility with third-party resins and expanded materials like ceramics and polyurethanes. Vendors must provide their CAGE code and lead time with their quotes, demonstrate capability to invoice through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF), and include shipping as a separate line item if not incorporated into base pricing. The government will evaluate proposals based on best value to the government considering price, delivery, quality, and past performance. All quotes must be submitted via email to kaitlin.h.summerville.civ@us.navy.mil by Thursday, July 31, 2025, at 11:00 AM Central Time, with no late submissions accepted.

This solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside under solicitation number N61331-25-T-KS27, with competition limited to authorized FormLabs distributors and resellers due to the brand name justification for the specific technical requirements. The procurement involves eight distinct line items, with Line Item #1 covering the Form 4L Basic Package and Line Items #2-#8 addressing components specifically for the Form 4 printer, clarifying that these represent two separate printer systems rather than one printer with additional consumables. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the available documentation, the procurement will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures given the specialized nature of the equipment. The contracting officer has determined this represents the best value when considering price, special features, and administrative costs. Performance will take place in Panama City Beach, Florida, supporting the Navy's objective to maintain technological competitive advantage in specialized equipment prototyping and development.
