Inert Atmosphere Packaging and Container Supply

The contract requires the hermetic packaging of reactive metal powder in inert gas-filled containers, with each container holding no more than 20 kilograms, ensuring complete isolation from moisture and oxygen to preserve material integrity. Full traceability must be maintained throughout the packaging process, including detailed labeling and accompanying Certificate of Conformance documentation to verify compliance with all specifications. The packaging must be performed under controlled inert atmosphere conditions to prevent contamination or reaction of the sensitive metal powders, which are typically used in advanced aerospace applications. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under NAICS code 326199 and is managed by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The response deadline is July 9, 2026, at 7:00 PM, with the opportunity posted on July 6, 2026. No specific place of performance or point of contact is provided, and there is no set-aside designation stated. The packaging and container supply must meet stringent quality and safety standards expected for NASA missions, emphasizing reliability, consistency, and documentation integrity to support downstream manufacturing and use in spaceflight systems.
