OUSD(R&E) Seeks Advanced Manufacturing, Prototypes and Materials (AMPAM)

The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) is seeking companies with new manufacturing processes and emerging technologies to submit Concept White Papers and Quad Charts. The goal is to foster increased collaboration and partnership between the Government and Industry to identify, develop, and mature new or improved manufacturing and repair processes. The BOTA will focus on developing prototype solutions for advanced manufacturing technology and strengthening joint planning and coordination. • The OUSD(R&E) Manufacturing Technology program (ManTech) is seeking companies with new manufacturing processes and emerging technology at mid or high readiness levels. • Technologies and prototypes of interest include new prototype based on industry independent research and development, new prototype or process based on DOD lab intellectual property, and new product based on ManTech with dual-use potential. • The Government seeks collaboration with companies who have prototype and pilot manufacturing technologies with the potential for integration into the defense industrial base. • The BOTA will remain open for 3 years, and any non-funded IEA resulting from it will expire 2 years from the date of execution.
