The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to improve maintenance and sustainment processes for specific legacy CNC machinery relied upon to produce mission-critical components that must meet exacting performance standards. The overall goal is to demonstrate the reduction in downtime and improved machine utilization that can be gained through integrating technologically improved critical machinery components that normally require long lead times to obtain.

Specific objectives include:

• obtaining, installing, and integrating CNC machinery components with improved technology that will be used in improving machining precision and performance
• developing designed machinery components and parts that will be integrated and aid in improved performance and the extension of CNC machine’s lifespan

If you feel your organization has the technical capabilities and would like to be considered for this project, please complete the form below and upload your organization’s technical capabilities statement.

Interested Submissions Due by 7/17/25.

We encourage participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), including Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs).
