Renishaw’s AM products added to GSA system

The additive manufacturing (AM) systems from Renishaw have been added to the General Services Administration (GSA) procurement system for government applications in the United States, officially recognizing the company as a provider of AM solutions to federal, state, and local governments.

Machine Tools USA, which has an existing GSA contract, will act as a distributor of Renishaw’s AM products to the U.S. government. The systems will also be included in the multiple awards scheme (MAS) for AM solutions, which allows government bodies to access commercial products at competitive price points. As part of this, Renishaw’s systems will be listed in the GSA e-library, a centralized online resource for governments to research and identify businesses who can provide products and services under a GSA contract.

Products listed on the GSA procurement system must meet strict criteria including commercial availability, competitive pricing, and compliance with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA), the Buy American Act, and environmental and labor standards.

“Adding our equipment to the GSA procurement system is testament to Renishaw’s commitment to provide innovative AM solutions to various applications,” says John Laureto, AM business manager at Renishaw. “Our collaboration with Machine Tools USA has been integral to listing our products under the MAS scheme and we’ve valued their expertise on this new venture. By helping us meet the stringent criteria for inclusion, the team at Machine Tools USA has helped us showcase the value of our systems for government agencies.”

Through the e-library, agencies can explore Renishaw’s RenAM 500 series of metal additive manufacturing systems.
