Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the FA8579 SOFTWARE SPRT AFSC PZIM office, has issued an Award Notice for a Single Source Justification to procure annual maintenance services for Stratasys J850 and Emerald Care 450 3D printers for the 580th Software Engineering Squadron (SWES) at Warner Robins, GA. This procurement is essential for maintaining critical operational readiness.
Scope of Work
This requirement covers comprehensive annual maintenance plans for the Stratasys J850 and Emerald Care 450 3D printers. Key deliverables include the replacement of all wearable parts (such as tubes, belts, and heads) and all moving parts. This preventative maintenance is vital for the continued proper function of the printers, which are critical assets for rapid prototyping, production, and testing of Line Replaceable Units (LRUs), directly impacting aircraft availability and mission readiness. The service requires access to certified technicians, genuine OEM parts, and proprietary diagnostic software exclusively available from Stratasys.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Single Source (Simplified Acquisition)
- Period of Performance: A base year (12 months after award) plus four subsequent 12-month option years.
- Delivery: 30 Days After Receipt of Order (ARO).
- Published Date: June 3, 2026.
Evaluation
This is a sole-source justification, not an open solicitation. The contracting officer determined that only Stratasys is reasonably available to provide these services, as they are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the sole authorized servicer for these specific 3D printers.
Additional Notes
The 3D printers are currently overdue for annual preventative maintenance, presenting a significant risk of imminent and catastrophic equipment failure. Prior efforts to identify alternative vendors through NASA SEWP and GSA 2GIT were unsuccessful. The government intends to continue monitoring the market for potential future alternatives.
