US Based Fixture Development and Manufacturing
SBIR Opportunity Analysis
The Defense Logistics Agency is seeking an SBIR solution to build a U.S.-based rapid-response manufacturing capability for Navy shipyard fixtures and replacement tools so maintenance work is not delayed by missing or broken specialized equipment. The work centers on securely receiving government technical data, reverse-engineering problem fixtures when needed, rapidly designing producible digital models, fabricating functional prototypes, and documenting the end-to-end process. Phase I requires demonstrating feasibility and speed within 12 months and a cost not to exceed $100,000, with attention to secure handling of export-controlled data, quality control, and compatibility with the platform arrangement and component. The topic is pre-release, with release on May 6, 2026, opening on May 27, 2026, and closing on June 24, 2026 at 4:00 PM UTC.
