1. The DAF-s desire to utilize additive manufacturing (AM) for flight-critical components necessitates the rigorous qualification of vendors. The US Air Force requests white papers that provide processes and procedures to qualify Additive Manufacturing (AM) vendors for parts with airworthiness considerations. The responses should outline a vetted process to assess and qualify AM vendors for airworthy parts by reviewing their quality management systems (QMS), material quality, process controls, design capabilities, data management, data and equipment security, and adherence to relevant regulations, such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Amazon Web Service (AWS), Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) and National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity requirements, Automated Material System (AMS) or American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, specifications and practices. Ensuring that vendors meet these criteria is crucial for maintaining safety and performance in aviation. The purpose of this call for white papers is to develop a procedure that the USAF can follow to develop a qualified AM vendor list for parts with air worthiness considerations.
2. Problem StatementThe Air Force requires a standardized approach to qualify vendors for producing flight-critical components through additive manufacturing. This document invites vendors to provide procedures and recommendations for building a qualified provider list, including criteria for conducting audits and assessing compliance with airworthiness considerations.
