Federal
Supply of Large-Capacity FDM/FFF 3D PrintersThe contract seeks the procurement and delivery of two industrial-grade FDM/FFF 3D printers engineered for large build volumes and high-temperature extrusion capabilities, aimed at supporting advanced manufacturing and prototyping needs within a Department of Defense maker space located at McConnell AFB. The printers must meet rigorous performance standards to ensure compatibility with high-performance thermoplastics and durability under operational demands typical in defense-related environments. The equipment will be used to enable rapid fabrication of mission-critical parts, tooling, and prototypes, reinforcing the DoD’s broader initiative to expand in-house additive manufacturing capacity. This solicitation is structured as a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside designation, meaning only small business entities certified by the SBA are eligible to respond, aligning with federal procurement goals to foster small business participation. The NAICS code 333514 identifies the category as Industrial Machinery Manufacturing, reflecting the technical complexity and specialized nature of the requested equipment. All bids must be submitted by the deadline of July 16, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with performance expected to occur in Prairie Village, Kansas, at the specified DoD facility. The procurement is managed by the W7M9 USPFO Activity KSANG 184 under the Department of Defense, and compliance with all technical specifications and delivery timelines is mandatory for contractor selection.

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) is seeking the supply of four precision zero-clearance cutting dies intended for lithium-ion battery electrode fabrication. These dies are critical for achieving superior cutting quality, producing clean, burr-free edges with minimal debris. Utilizing zero-clearance technology, which reduces the gap between electrodes during cutting, these dies aim to decrease material waste and enhance dimensional accuracy. This technology promises significant improvements over the current conventional steel-rule dies used by NRC’s CleanEnergy Innovation group, particularly in tool longevity, precision, and production efficiency. The dies will be installed on the existing electrode punching machine (model EPM280) at NRC’s Boucherville site to support advanced battery manufacturing research and development efforts. The solicitation for this contract was posted on May 11, 2026, with a response deadline of May 26, 2026. The procurement is managed by the NRC, a federal agency within the Government of Canada, and the point of contact is Grice El-Hayek, the contracting authority. The work location is specified as Quebec, Canada, excluding the National Capital Region.

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) requires the supply of four (4) precision zero-clearance cutting dies designed for use in lithium-ion battery electrode fabrication. These dies are essential to achieve high-quality cutting performance characterized by clean, burr-free edges and minimal debris generation. Zero-clearance die technology minimizes the gap between cut electrodes, thereby reducing material waste and improving dimensional accuracy. Compared to conventional steel-rule dies currently in use by NRC’s CleanEnergy Innovation (CEI) group, zero-clearance dies provide significantly enhanced tool life, cutting precision, and production efficiency. The new dies wil lbe installed on NRC’s existing electrode punching machine (model EPM280) located at the Boucherville site to support ongoing research and development in advanced battery manufacturing.
