Metallurgical and Propellant Analysis for JM35 Rocket

The contract requires detailed material science analysis of metal components and propellant composition from the JM35 rocket to enable the accurate replication and qualification of replacement parts. The work involves metallurgical examination of the rocket's metallic structures to determine material properties, microstructure, and performance characteristics under operational conditions, alongside chemical and physical analysis of the propellant formulation to replicate its combustion behavior, stability, and energy output. The goal is to produce component substitutes that meet original design intent and safety standards without access to original manufacturing documentation or sourcing. This subcontract is issued under NAICS code 541380, indicating it falls under other scientific and technical consulting services, and is managed by the Department of Defense through the agency FA8213 Aflcmc Ebhk. The solicitation was posted on June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 15, 2026, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. The place of performance and point of contact details are not specified, and no set-aside provisions apply. All technical deliverables must support full qualification of replacement parts for the JM35 rocket system, implying adherence to defense-grade material standards and potentially classified handling protocols.
