Black Anodizing and Edge Finishing

This contract involves the application of a black anodized finish specifically on non-optical surfaces, along with the precise machining of 45-degree chamfers on the inner and outer edges of mirror substrates. A critical requirement is that these operations must be conducted without contaminating the optical zones of the substrates, ensuring the integrity and performance of the mirrors are maintained. The contract is designated as a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside program, encouraging participation from small businesses. Issued by the NASA Shared Services Center, the contract is aligned with the NAICS code 332819, which pertains to metal finishing services. The solicitation was posted on May 12, 2026, and offers a response deadline of May 19, 2026. While details regarding the specific location of performance are unspecified, the scope clearly targets precision surface finishing for NASA’s mirror components, reflecting both high-quality standards and strict contamination controls in the manufacturing process.
