Additive Manufacturing (AM) Feasibility & Qualification Support

The contract seeks to evaluate and qualify additive manufactured versions of a specific screw for potential future government procurement, focusing on engineering data collection and rigorous testing conducted through the Defense Logistics Agency’s Engineering Support Activity. The goal is to determine the feasibility of using 3D printing technology to produce this screw component while ensuring it meets all required performance, durability, and specification standards for military use. This effort involves comprehensive analysis of material properties, dimensional accuracy, mechanical integrity, and consistency across production batches, with the ultimate aim of validating the 3D printed screw as a viable replacement for traditionally manufactured equivalents. The work is performed at a designated location in New Cumberland with a zip code of 17070-5002, and the contract falls under NAICS code 339999 for other miscellaneous manufacturing. It is structured as a subcontract and is open for responses with a deadline set for July 22, 2026. The sponsoring agency is the ASC Commodities Division under the Department of Defense, indicating this initiative aligns with broader DoD strategies to modernize supply chains through advanced manufacturing technologies. There is no set-aside classification, and the procurement is intended to support long-term acquisition planning by building a data-driven foundation for future sourcing decisions based on validated additive manufacturing outcomes.
