NASA/NSSC is conducting a sources-sought notice for the sole source procurement of Powder Bed Fusion Development of Oxide Dispersion Strengthened Alloys, targeting NORTH AMERICAN MANUFACTURING PROS LLC as the exclusive provider under FAR 12.102(a) for commercial items. The effort will be performed at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, with a three-month performance period beginning upon Authority to Proceed, requiring a dedicated EOS M280 laser powder bed fusion system to operate at a minimum of 432 hours per month with 60% utilization. The vendor must develop and optimize laser parameters for NASA-designed ODS nickel alloys, including GRX-810 and Alloy N ODS, achieving at least 99.9% relative density in fabricated components while submitting full build records, powder certifications, and real-time anomaly reports. Strict handling protocols prohibit the vendor from performing mechanical alloying or ODS powder processing, which remain NASA-controlled; all excess powder must be returned to NASA. Country of origin disclosures for melt, atomization, final processing, and packaging are mandatory, alongside full identification of manufacturers, subcontractors, and supply chain participants to ensure compliance with the Buy American Act, Trade Agreements Act, and the NASA Wolf Amendment, which requires full disclosure of any involvement with entities linked to the People’s Republic of China.
