Robotic Sheet Metal Forming CAPABILITY REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Solicitation # FA8684AMPOAR01

The United States Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office is conducting market research through a Capability Request for Information to identify commercial off-the-shelf or adaptable dieless robotic sheet metal forming solutions. This initiative aims to replace traditional, expensive hard tooling and long lead-time manufacturing with a software-defined approach using synchronized robotic arm manipulators and interchangeable styli. The goal is to enable the on-demand production of structural components, brackets, panels, and spare parts for aircraft and support equipment at depot, maintenance, or factory-level facilities, thereby reducing supply chain reliance and accelerating prototyping cycles. Interested respondents must submit an unclassified white paper not exceeding 11 pages, formatted in 12-point Times New Roman, by October 27, 2026. The submission must include company administrative data and a detailed technical section covering material compatibility, CAD-to-part software autonomy, and compliance with industrial safety standards such as RIA, OSHA, CE, UL, or ISO. Systems must be compatible with 480V 3-phase, 60 Hz power architectures. This notice is issued solely for planning purposes and does not constitute a Request for Proposal or a commitment by the government to award a contract.
