Due: July 20, 2026
The Defense Manufacturing Readiness Exercise (DMRE) is a phased prototype effort conducted under the Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBC) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) to
identify, assess, develop, and evaluate manufacturing capabilities that may contribute to qualified, contractable, and usable defense production capacity. This effort supports both the
Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBC) mission and broader Industrial Base Policy (IBP) objectives by improving manufacturing readiness, strengthening domestic production capability,
increasing industrial-base resilience, expanding awareness of available and adaptable manufacturing capacity, and generating decision-grade evidence to inform future industrial-base planning, readiness investments, and mobilization activities.
Responding to this opportunity requires membership in the Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBC). This Consortium releases numerous solicitations throughout the year, so even if this opportunity may not end up being right for you, we strongly encourage you to join, so you are ready for the next opportunity.
