Hewlett Packard Multi-Jet Fusion 3D Printer Maintenance and Service

The U.S. Navy’s Fleet Readiness Center Southeast at Naval Air Station Jacksonville requires comprehensive maintenance and technical support for two HP Multi-Jet Fusion 4200 3D printers used to produce critical aircraft components. The Government intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to TPM of Charlotte Inc. under FAR 6.103-5(b)(2), as the service is exclusively available through an authorized OEM provider for this specific brand of equipment. The contract will have a one-year base period with four optional one-year extensions, totaling up to five years of performance. All work must be performed on-site at FRCSE during core business hours, and the contractor is responsible for providing all labor, tools, materials, transportation, and qualified personnel necessary to ensure continuous operation of the printers, including emergency response for machine downtime, annual preventive maintenance, and recertification after physical relocation. The contractor must be an HP-authorized service provider with direct access to OEM-certified parts and diagnostic software, and all personnel must hold relevant certifications. The capability submission process requires respondents to demonstrate technical eligibility by addressing specific criteria including HP OEM authorization, technician certifications, guaranteed response times for critical failures, proximity to NAS Jacksonville, proposed preventive maintenance schedules, recertification experience after relocation, current Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) level, and small business status under NAICS code 541519. Small business offerors must show they can perform at least 50% of the work themselves, and any teaming arrangements with similarly situated small businesses must be clearly detailed with delineated responsibilities. All submissions are limited to ten pages in Times New Roman 10-point font and must be submitted electronically via email to specified Navy contracting officials by 12:00 PM EST on May 8, 2026. The facility operates under strict security protocols requiring compliance with NISPOM, CUI marking standards (DoDM 5200.01), and OPSEC policies, with all personnel subject to background checks, DBIDS credentialing, and base access procedures. Contractor employees are prohibited from performing personal services for government personnel, handling classified material, or accessing restricted areas such as the flight line without explicit authorization. No pricing information is provided in this sources-sought notice, as it is purely a market research tool to validate the sole-source justification, and all submissions must be marked as proprietary and will not be returned or compensated.
