Precision Machining of Nickel-Based Superalloy Tensile Specimens

The contract calls for the precision machining of 250 Government-furnished GRX-810 nickel-based superalloy tensile blanks produced via additive manufacturing, requiring slow-speed grinding and CNC operations to achieve exacting dimensional tolerances and surface finish standards. These specimens are critical for aerospace testing and must be processed with consistent quality to ensure reliable material performance data. The work is to be performed in Cleveland, Ohio, at a zip code of 44135, and falls under NAICS code 332710 for metal forging and stamping. This is a total small business set-aside under SBA regulations, meaning only small businesses qualified under FAR 19.5 are eligible to compete. The solicitation was posted on July 21, 2026, with a response deadline of July 27, 2026. The contracting activity is managed by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, indicating the end-use of the machined components is for federal aerospace research and development programs. All work must be conducted in compliance with federal procurement guidelines and material specifications associated with GRX-810 additive manufactured stock.
