NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT
THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTATIONS. This announcement constitutes the only notice that will be published.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to award a sole‑source, firm‑fixed‑price contract to Tyson Build Plates, 12 Channel Street, Boston, MA 02210, for the procurement of consumer‑grade polyetherimide (PEI) build plates (BPs) used in fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printers.
These BPs are flat, heated printing surfaces—typically flexible magnetic spring steel, chemically or mechanically textured, and coated with PEI—to ensure stable filament adhesion during printing and controlled release after cooling. The BPs are required to support ongoing forensic research involving the examination of toolmarks generated during 3D printing processes.
The selected vendor is uniquely capable of providing witnessed, documented, consecutively manufactured PEI build plates produced entirely within the United States. The manufacturing process must occur domestically; build plates cannot be produced outside the United States and shipped to a facility for inspection. The vendor is also willing to provide direct access to their manufacturing processes, which is uncommon in the 3D‑printing industry due to intellectual‑property protections. This access is essential to ensure the build plates accurately replicate the characteristics of internationally produced PEI plates while meeting the technical requirements of the research.
Unique Requirements
Manufacturing must occur within the United States.
Build plates may not be manufactured internationally or shipped from overseas.
Manufacturing must be witnessed and recorded by Government personnel.
Manufacturing techniques must be fully documented.
Build plates must be consecutively manufactured.
Vendor must allow access to production processes, which is typical for forensic research.
