The government is conducting market research via a Sources Sought notice to identify capable sources, particularly small businesses, that can supply a commercial-off-the-shelf, expeditionary, industrial-grade FDM/FFF 3D printer. The system must meet strict requirements for North American power compatibility, fit within ISU-90 transport constraints, and provide an enclosed heated build chamber with dual extrusion and automated calibration. It must support specified engineering materials, achieve high resolution and dimensional accuracy, and include licensed software, on-site startup, training for at least four personnel, and initial consumables. No contract will be awarded based on this notice, and interested firms are asked to submit capability statements demonstrating compliance and relevant experience. No budget amount or performance location is specified.

This is a sources sought notice for market research purposes only, not a solicitation, seeking capable sources—particularly small businesses—for a commercial off-the-shelf, expeditionary industrial-grade FDM/FFF 3D printer system. The printer must operate on standard 110-120V power with a maximum draw of 20 amps, fit within a 72"x36"x36" footprint for ISU-90 transport, and have a build volume between 10 and 16 inches per side. It must feature a fully enclosed heated build chamber, dual extrusion with auto-changeover, automated calibration, layer resolution from 0.005 to 0.013 inches, and support specific materials including ABS, ABS-CF, ASA, PC-ABS, PA-CF, mineral-filled nylon, TP
