Selective Laser Sintering Three-Dimensional Additive Manufacturing Machine

The Naval Research Laboratory is seeking a Selective Laser Sintering Three-Dimensional Additive Manufacturing Machine under solicitation N00173-26-R-TJ03, with responses due by July 8, 2026. The procurement, classified under NAICS code 333248, is a Firm Fixed-Price contract for new equipment only, with no remanufactured or gray market items permitted. The system must include a CO2 laser with minimum output of 70 watts and 10.6 μm wavelength, a build platform of at least 340 mm x 340 mm x 620 mm, software supporting 0.05 mm to 0.2 mm layer thicknesses, and integrated dust collection and bead blasting station compliant with industrial safety standards. The vendor is responsible for delivering, installing, and commissioning the system at the LASR Facility, B271 Room 131, 4555 Overlook Ave. in Washington, DC within 60 calendar days of award, with all costs including shipping unless separately itemized. Full training for facility operators and seven printed manuals covering operations, maintenance, software, troubleshooting, and material compatibility must accompany delivery. The evaluation process prioritizes technical capability above past performance and price reasonableness, with proposals rated on a four-tier scale—Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, or Unacceptable—based on alignment with the technical specifications in Attachment 1. Past performance will be assessed through Supplier Performance Risk System data, evaluating item, price, and supplier risk across quality, delivery, and supply chain metrics. While price must be determined fair and reasonable through competitive analysis, award may go to the most advantageous offer regardless of lowest price or highest technical score. All offerors must be registered in SAM.gov, provide their CAGE code and Unique Entity ID, and comply with extensive federal and defense regulations including DFARS CMMC Level requirements, Buy American provisions, Employment Eligibility Verification under E.O. 12989, minimum wage and paid sick leave mandates under E.O. 14026 and E.O. 13706, and prohibitions on contingent fees and influence payments.
