Description
INTRODUCTIONThis is a Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of qualified business sources. This notice is strictly for market research and information purposes only. Your responses will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible.
NIST is seeking responses from all responsible small business concerns. Small businesses are defined under the associated NAICS code for this effort, 333248 (All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing), as those domestic sources not exceeding the average number of 750 employees.
Background:The Production Systems Group (PSG) in the NIST Engineering Laboratory conducts research in metals-based additive manufacturing (AM) to develop and deploy advances in measurement science that will enable rapid design-to-product transformation. The PSG is expanding its repertoire of additive manufacturing research to include hybrid manufacturing; or the combination of additive and subtractive fabrication processes within one machine. The ‘additive- technology in these hybrid systems typically employ a category of additive manufacturing technologies called ‘direct energy deposition- (DED), of which there are subcategories based on the type of material being deposited, or the source of thermal energy used to melt and consolidate the material. To make a ‘hybrid- process, the DED systems are incorporated into traditional subtractive (i.e., metal-cutting) machining centers.
The PSG aims to procure a laser-wire hybrid manufacturing system to be installed at the Additive Manufacturing Research Center (AMRC) at NIST Gaithersburg, Maryland campus. The PSG has identified laser-wire deposition as a target DED process used by key stakeholders in industry and defense. Furthermore, the PSG has identified research obj...
