L-PBF Development of ODS Alloys for Recording Methane/Oxygen Combustion Properties

Solicitation # 80NSSC27946801Q

The NASA Shared Services Center is seeking capability statements for a project focused on the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) development of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) and burn-resistant nickel-based alloys, including GRX-810, GRX-810+, and GRX-900. The scope of work involves advanced process development and parameter optimization using an EOS M280 system to achieve a relative density of 99.9 percent or higher. Key requirements include the production of test coupons and representative components, the supply of at least 600 kg of GRX-810 powder, and strict adherence to NASA-STD-6030 for mechanical validation. All deliverables must be shipped to the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. This procurement is being conducted as a commercial items or services acquisition under FAR Part 12, with NAICS code 541715. NASA intends to issue a sole source contract to North American Manufacturing Pros LLC under FAR 12.102(a); however, the agency is requesting capability statements from other interested organizations to determine if the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis. Interested parties must submit their qualifications to the primary point of contact, Cara Craft, by October 22, 2026. The contract requires rigorous documentation, including real-time reporting of anomalies and full powder traceability certifications covering chemical composition and particle morphology.

Request for Information – Prophylactic Platform for Medical Countermeasures

Solicitation # W911SR27SPPFC

The Department of Defense, through the Portfolio Management Executive for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (PME CBRND) and the Accelerated Defense Pharmaceuticals (ADP) program, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation W911SR27SPPFC. The objective is to identify capable companies that can advance the development of prophylactic medical countermeasures (MCMs) using existing platform technologies. The program focuses on progressing these countermeasures through Phase I or Phase II clinical trials, with a goal of enabling interim fielding via Expanded Access Protocols or pre-Emergency Use Authorization. The anticipated period of performance is up to four years, with work primarily conducted at the contractor's facilities. Interested respondents must provide a comprehensive capability description, including technical approach, regulatory status with the FDA, cGMP manufacturing capabilities, and a development roadmap with rough order of magnitude cost estimates. Evaluation criteria for future selections will emphasize manufacturing process capability, product safety and efficacy, past FDA experience, and the plug-and-play nature of the platform across various pathogens. Submissions must be delivered as a single searchable PDF, featuring a specific cover page and a core capability description not exceeding four pages. All non-clinical and clinical data must be SEND and CDISC compliant, and manufacturing must adhere to cGMP standards to support an Investigational New Drug application through a Biologics License Application.

ACC-DTA Ground Maneuver Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)

Solicitation # W912CH-26-S-0001

The ACC-DTA Ground Maneuver Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO), solicitation W912CH-26-S-0001, is a streamlined acquisition initiative authorized under DFARS Subpart 212-70. Its primary objective is to rapidly procure innovative commercial products, services, and non-developmental items to enhance the development, integration, and sustainment of ground vehicle systems. The program utilizes a multi-phased competitive process—consisting of solution briefs, presentations, and commercial solution proposals—to expedite the delivery of critical technologies. Awards may be structured as fixed-price or fixed-price incentive fee contracts, utilizing FAR Part 12 Commercial Procedures or non-FAR agreements such as Other Transaction Authority (OTA) and Cooperative Agreements. The scope of the CSO is broad and evolves through various Areas of Interest (AoIs) active through 2028. Key initiatives include the TIGER Readiness and Hackathon programs focused on supply chain resilience and advanced manufacturing for the Abrams Main Battle Tank's AGT 1500 engine, the FALCONS rapid prototyping effort for long-range sensors with an anticipated funding ceiling of 24 million dollars, and the procurement of Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) detection and Mobile Camouflage Systems. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a Unique Entity ID and a verified CAGE code. Evaluation is based on technical approach, performance schedule realism, and price affordability, with a strong emphasis on domestic sourcing compliance and adherence to quality standards such as ISO 9001 and AS9100.
