- Description
- The US Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground Natick Contracting Division, on behalf of the US Army Natick Soldier Research Development and Engineering Center, intends to award a sole source contract to Stratasys, Inc. under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) to procure a Fortus 450mc 3D printing system. Competition was limited to Stratasys, because the Fortus family of machines are currently used in support of the NSRDEC rapid prototyping mission. Significant investment has already been made in training of the proprietary control software, Insight 10.6, and would require significant retraining to shift to an alternate software package. Additionally, the materials used to operate the Fortus are already on inventory at NSRDEC. Staying inside the Fortus family will enable a seamless transition and cost sharing between NSRDEC projects saving costs long term. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency.
