OC-ALC/OBCA for 76 CMXG

SUBJECT: Brand Name Justification for C27-005 AMT Equipment Maintenance 1. 76 Commodities Maintenance Group (CMXG) requires one (1) one-year base with two (2) one-year options for annual maintenance and support contract for Additive Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) brand equipment, which directly supports Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D-printing production. The Government currently has a
capital investment in this equipment. The support will cover one specific system critical to the manufacturing pipeline: the PostPro SF100, an automated chemical vapor smoothing system that seals micro-porosities on 3D-printed parts. This machine provide the necessary post-processing to give 3D-printed components an injection-molded, mission-ready finish. 2. The use of AMT brand-name HyperCare maintenance service agreement plan is necessary because the required preventive and corrective maintenance (repair) involves machine-specific parts and proprietary processes that are exclusively supported by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Written verification from AMT confirms that the SF100 system utilizes proprietary technology. Furthermore, the OEM mandates that only AMT-certified technicians are authorized to perform maintenance, and the use of uncertified third-party personnel to maintain or repair these systems requires This is a critical risk factor, as the SF100 acts as a single point of failure for our SLS production line. Utilizing non-OEM parts or uncertified technicians would not only void existing warranties and safety certifications but it would also risk catastrophic damage to the Government's investment. Procuring brand-name service from authorized AMT resellers is the only way to ensure timely repairs, mitigate the risk of extended production outages, and protect the equipment. 3. The proposed AMT brand-name service plan and OEM replacement parts are the only known products that AMT Brand Name maintenance and warranty products be procured to meet all the requirements of the 76 CMXG and subsequently the warfighters.
4. Market research was conducted to identify qualified sources capable of providing the OEM-authorized HyperCare Maintenance Plan for Additive Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) brand equipment. Direct contact was made with the OEM, Additive Manufacturing Technologies (AMT), to evaluate
