Additive Manufacturing Government Bids & RFPs

This is a Sources Sought notice from the 36th Contracting Squadron for a potential purchase of one F900 Stratasys polymer 3D printer for Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. This is not a solicitation, but an RFI to gather industry interest. The government is considering this acquisition as a total small business set aside. Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. Respondents are requested to provide general information about their company, including business type and NAICS code, and describe their capabilities in meeting the requirement, including product information, specifications, past performance, and brochures. Responses are due by May 11, 2026, at 7:30 AM CHST (May 10, 2026, at 5:30 PM EST) and should be emailed to the points of contact provided.

This notice describes an innovation in additively manufactured ferritic steel, specifically grade 91 steel, which exhibits enhanced high-temperature performance. The technology, protected by U. S. Patent US 11,471,946 B2, involves a 3D printing process using powder bed fusion with precisely controlled laser settings. This method creates a unique microstructure that results in steel up to 85% stronger at 600°C compared to conventionally made counterparts, while maintaining ductility. The value proposition lies in enabling manufacturers to produce complex steel parts that withstand extreme heat better than current materials. The process utilizes commercially available grade 91 powder and standard industrial 3D printers, making adoption feasible without exotic materials or new equipment. This printed steel can serve as a lower-cost alternative to nickel-based superalloys in high-temperature applications, leading to lighter, cheaper, and more geometrically creative component designs across the energy and industrial sectors. Potential market applications include nuclear energy, power generation, automotive and transportation, oil, gas and chemical processing, aerospace and defense, and industrial manufacturing. Los Alamos National Laboratory offers this technology for licensing.

This notice describes an innovative 3D printing technology developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory for creating engineered porous materials. The technology simplifies the production of advanced porous materials with precisely engineered porosity at macro, micro, and nano scales using a single printable composition and a standard stereolithography printer. It eliminates the need for secondary coatings or specialized equipment, offering a versatile and low-cost platform for various applications including catalytic reactors, filtration systems, thermal management devices, energy storage components, and biomedical scaffolds. The process involves a specially formulated resin that is cured layer by layer, followed by post-printing processing to convert the structural precursor into the desired solid material. The technology is protected by U. S. patent numbers 11,267,920 and 12,054,569, with pending applications. Los Alamos National Laboratory offers licensing agreements for this technology to companies seeking a competitive edge. This is not a call for external services for the development of this technology.

This is a solicitation for support professional services, specifically engineering and technical services. The requirement is for research, engineering, test, and program support services for the Machinery Research and Silencing Division. The contractor will provide engineering, programmatic, and technical services to support the RDTE of various shipboard automation and controls, electric power, machinery technology, and related systems. This requirement is being solicited to MAC holders only. The deadline for receipt of questions is 10 days after the issuance of the solicitation. Questions received after this date may not be answered. All questions must be submitted via email to the points of contact listed.
