On November 5, 2026, the Beijing Institute of Power Machinery published a negotiated procurement announcement on the Procurement and Bidding Network for the additive manufacturing of the inlet blank for a certain test article. The procurement target is one set of additively manufactured inlet blank products, with a single awarded supplier. Imported products are explicitly not permitted, and the funding source has been secured or determined. The announcement states that the supplier must complete product processing and deliver it for acceptance within the specified number of days after the award is confirmed. Technical specifications are detailed in the Acceptance Technical Conditions for the Additive Manufacturing of the Inlet Blank for a Certain Test Article. Suppliers must provide two documents evidencing performance on similar products since 2023; contract copies must show the signature and seal pages of both parties, the signing date, and the name of the subject matter. Consortia are not accepted. All else being equal, suppliers already listed in the Beijing Institute of Power Machinery's qualified military product supplier directory will be given priority. Awarded candidate suppliers not yet listed must cooperate in completing the out-of-directory selection approval procedures; if the approval does not meet requirements, the purchaser has the right to reject the award and either select the next candidate in the evaluation ranking or re-procure. The project was announced on the All-Military Weapons and Equipment Procurement Information Network, with an announcement period of five working days. Response documents must be submitted within five working days after the technical briefing, and evaluation will take place within two working days after the submission deadline. The announcement sets clear requirements for supplier qualifications, including quality system certification and confidentiality qualification certificates. Intellectual property rights arising during product processing shall belong to the purchaser.
