Post-Processing and Finishing of AM Test Bars

The contract calls for the post-processing and finishing of GRCop-42 additively manufactured test bars, requiring specific fabrication steps including de-powdering to remove unbound powder, EDM removal to refine geometries, HIP treatment to enhance material density and mechanical properties, and vacuum cleaning to ensure surface cleanliness—all performed without media blasting to preserve dimensional accuracy and surface integrity. The work is strictly defined to ensure consistency and quality for NASA's additive manufacturing applications, with no alternative finishing methods permitted. The solicitation is issued under a subcontract classification by the NASA Shared Services Center, part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, with a NAICS code of 332721 indicating precision machining and finishing services. The opportunity was posted on April 27, 2026, with a firm deadline for responses at 7:00 PM Eastern Time on April 30, 2026. No set-aside status or geographic performance location details are specified, and no point of contact information is provided in the data. All submissions must meet the exacting process requirements outlined to support critical NASA components.
