NASA seeks powder bed fusion development and optimization for advanced oxide dispersion strengthened alloys (GRX-810, ORCAlloy-14-TiN)

NASA Glenn Research Center is seeking capability statements for a one-month contract focused on powder bed fusion development of advanced oxide dispersion strengthened nickel-based alloys. - The requirement is for laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process development and optimization, specifically for alloys such as ORCAlloy-14-TiN, GRX-810, and GRX-810+. - The contract includes access to an EOS M280 L-PBF system for 432 hours/month with at least 60% print utilization. - Deliverables include parameter sets achieving 99.9% density, printed components, development samples, and powder certifications. - 120 kg of GRX-810 powder must be supplied, meeting NASA specifications and full certification requirements. - The procurement is currently sole source to NORTH AMERICAN MANUFACTURING PROS LLC, but NASA is requesting capability statements from other vendors by August 26, 2026; quotes are not being evaluated at this stage. - The period of performance is one month from authority to proceed. - The acquisition is under NAICS code 561990 and FAR Part 12 for commercial items/services. - NASA may consider other vendors if capability statements demonstrate equivalent expertise and resources.

Technical Requirements: - Advanced L-PBF process development for specialty alloys - Access to EOS M280 system - Supply and certification of GRX-810 powder - Mechanical validation and geometry evaluation of printed parts

Commercial Opportunity: - Potential for non-competitive award unless other qualified vendors are identified - Opportunity for vendors with expertise in powder bed fusion and specialty alloy development
