Mobile Additive Manufacturing System IntegrationThe contract seeks the design and integration of a mobile, containerized additive manufacturing system capable of producing unmanned aerial system airframes and components in austere environments using both metal and polymer 3D printing technologies. The system must be drone-agnostic, allowing for the fabrication of parts compatible with a wide range of UAS platforms without requiring platform-specific adjustments. It must be fully transportable, self-contained, and operable under challenging field conditions with minimal infrastructure, enabling rapid on-site production of critical components to support operational readiness and maintenance. The solution should prioritize reliability, scalability, and ease of use by personnel with varying levels of technical expertise. The work is being conducted under the Department of Defense through the FA8684 Aflcmc Rodk organization, with performance expected to take place at Edwards. The solicitation is classified as a subcontract, and responses are due by August 28, 2026. The North American Industry Classification System code 333342 indicates the focus on industrial machinery manufacturing, specifically equipment for additive manufacturing. The system must support end-to-end production workflows including material handling, printing, post-processing, and quality verification, all within a ruggedized enclosure suitable for deployment in forward-deployed or resource-limited locations. The ultimate goal is to empower field units with the ability to rapidly manufacture mission-critical UAS parts without reliance on traditional supply chains.
