The United States Air Force Material Command (AFMC) requires a new Firm-Fixed Price contract for one Stratasys F900 Aircraft Interior Certification Solution (AICS) 3D Printer. This acquisition, justified as a brand name sole source, includes on-site testing, support, training, and delivery. The F900 printer is essential for the Reverse Engineering And Critical Tooling (REACT) lab at Tinker AFB to expand its capacity for producing 3D printed replacement parts for aircraft. The justification states that the Stratasys F900 is the only machine capable of manufacturing certified and qualified aircraft components, as mandated by Air Force Technical Orders 34A-1-1 and 34A-3-1. These technical orders specifically require the use of F900 3D printers for machine qualification and for producing airworthy parts in conjunction with ULTEM 9085 material. Redeveloping the existing technical data package for other printers would cost approximately $1.325 million, and other printers are not currently certified by the FAA. Market research confirmed the F900's unique capabilities. The agency will continue to monitor the industry for alternative vendors capable of meeting these stringent requirements.
This document is a Standard Form 1449,
Amendment 0001 to Solicitation FA812526Q0022, issued by AFSC PZIMA, replaces the entire Statement of Work (SOW) for the F900 3D Printer (CIP FY26). The original SOW (dated October 10, 2025) has been deleted and replaced with an updated version (dated December 15, 2025). This amendment extends the offer receipt date and requires acknowledgment by offerors through specific methods. All other terms and conditions of the solicitation remain unchanged.

The Statement of Work outlines the procurement of one Stratasys F900 Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) machine with an Aircraft Interior Certification Solution Package for REACT. This acquisition aims to expand REACT's existing 3D printing capacity, which currently utilizes three F900 printers, for producing aircraft-grade replacement parts, specifically using ULTEM 9085 material. The new machine will increase throughput by 50.6%, reduce rework, boost shop efficiency, and allow for a rigid maintenance schedule. The procurement includes the F900 system, validated material licenses, various material canisters, installation, a one-year warranty, and a minimum of three days of on-site training for up to four personnel. The document also details general requirements for contractors, including hours of operation, environmental protection, safety compliance (FOD/DOP, tool control), spill reporting, and procedures for working on Tinker Air Force Base.
