The solicitation number is W911W6-10-C-0070 and is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP). Under this number, the Army Contracting Command (ACC) / Aviation Applied Technology Directorate (AATD) intends to award a firm fixed price contract. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 05-32. The applicable North American Industry Classification Standard (NAICS) code is 333220. The small business size standard is 500 employees. AATD intends to purchase a Rapid Prototyping System (3D Printer) to produce prototype as well as usable Army aircraft parts and subassemblies for demonstration, fit-up, and flight testing purposes. Accuracy tolerance for parts manufactured is +/- 0.0035 inches (+/- 0.0015 per inch). This system be must compatibale with operating in an office environment, i.e., it shall not require additional ventilation for fumes; it shall not consume HAZMAT materials or produce HAZMAT waste. Minimum build envelope is 36 x 24 x 36. The system will have the capability to produce three dimensional parts designed for Pro-E software using a variety of engineered thermoplastics with known material properties. The materials and combination of material used to produce parts shall have a minimum material tensile strength of 8,000 psi, flexure strengths of up to 16,700 psi and heat deflection temperatures above 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The system shall operate as a local printer for a Government provided Local Area Network (LAN)-connected personal computer. The software provided shall perform all required translation of Pro-Engineer, Solids Works, and Solid Edge 3D CAD data files (either.prt,.stl, or.stp), shall controll the operation of the system and shall be compatiable with Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 2007 operating system. The 3D printer shall be capable of running unattended once started and of producing multiple parts (identical or not identical) in one setup, assuming they fit within the build envelope. The 3D printer system shall produce parts which require minor hand finishing before use; a system that requires post processing such as ultraviolet light, spraying or soaking with fixatives or heating is unacceptable. Additional procurement services include site delivery, installation, set-up, and calibration of the rapid prototyping system; on-site demonstration and training (of up to 10 personnel) at Fort Eustis, Virginia.
