- Department of Defense
The Department of Defense (DoD) Manufacturing Technology Program (ManTech) is the Defense
Department’s investment mechanism for staying at the forefront of defense-essential manufacturing
capability. The Program develops technologies and processes for the affordable and timely
production and sustainment of defense systems. The Program impacts all phases of the product lifecycle.
It aids in achieving reduced acquisition and total ownership costs by developing, maturing,
and transitioning key manufacturing technologies. ONR will focus investments on those that have the
most benefit to the warfighter and include quick-hitting, rapid response projects to address immediate
manufacturing needs.
The DoD ManTech Program targets the needs of our warfighters and weapon system programs by
helping to find and implement affordable low-risk solutions. The ManTech Program:
Provides the crucial link between technology invention and development and industrial
applications;
2. Matures and validates emerging manufacturing technologies to support low-risk
implementation in industry and DoD facilities, for example depots and other organic repair
facilities;
3. Addresses production issues from system development through transition to production and
sustainment;
4. Disseminates information concerning improved manufacturing improvement concepts,
including information on such matters as best manufacturing practices, product data exchange
specifications, computer-aided acquisition and logistics support, and rapid acquisition of
manufactured parts; and
5. Sustains and enhances the skills and capabilities of the manufacturing work force.
The funded amount and period of performance of each proposal selected for award may vary depending on the STAMP technology area and the technical approach to be pursued by the offeror selected.
