Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Inspection System Development for Additive-Manufactured Heat Exchangers

The contract involves the development and delivery of a non-destructive testing inspection system specifically designed to identify eight different types of flaws in small-diameter Alloy 625 Inconel tubes that are manufactured using additive manufacturing techniques. This system is intended to support both post-build evaluations and ongoing in-service inspections, ensuring the integrity and reliability of these specialized heat exchanger components. The work falls under the NAICS code 541380, indicating professional, scientific, and technical services, and is being managed as a subcontract for Fluor Marine Propulsion, a contractor for the Department of Energy. The project aims to advance inspection capabilities for high-performance materials used in critical energy infrastructure, focusing on additive-manufactured parts where traditional inspection methods may be insufficient. The solicitation was posted on May 19, 2026, with responses due by June 23, 2026. While specific location details and points of contact are not provided, the effort supports DOE goals related to improving manufacturing and maintenance technologies for energy systems.
