Precision Ceramic Machining (Beryllium Oxide)

This small business set-aside subcontract through the NASA Shared Services Center involves high-precision machining of Beryllium Oxide structures for prime contractors. The scope of work requires turning and grinding cylinders to a 2.375 inch outer diameter, drilling through-holes with a tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches, and milling central cavities featuring micro-holes as small as 0.020 inches. Due to the nature of the materials, the contractor must utilize diamond grinding or ultrasonic machining and maintain OSHA-compliant ventilation systems to manage toxic dust. The project is governed by ITAR and EAR regulations to ensure strict export control and security compliance. Interested parties must adhere to the response deadline of November 10, 2026. The contract falls under NAICS code 332710 and focuses on the delivery of finished, high-tolerance ceramic components.
