Additive Manufacturing (AM) Sample Production

The contract requires the fabrication of JBK-75 alloy samples using laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing technology, producing specimens in both as-built and fully heat-treated conditions to meet NASA-specific technical standards. The work involves precise control over powder composition, layer deposition, laser parameters, and post-processing heat treatments to ensure material properties align with NASA’s requirements for aerospace applications. All samples must be manufactured to consistent dimensional and metallurgical specifications, with documentation supporting process validation and quality assurance. The solicitation is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 332999, issued by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Proposals must be submitted by July 28, 2026, with a deadline of 8:30 PM Eastern Time. While no set-aside classification or performance location details are provided, the effort is intended to support NASA’s research and development initiatives in additive manufacturing. The technical scope demands adherence to stringent aerospace protocols, and successful performance will require proven expertise in L-PBF processing of high-performance nickel-based superalloys under controlled environmental and thermal conditions.
