Vacuum/Inert Gas Atomization of ORCAlloy-21 Powder

The contract requires the manufacture of high-purity ORCAlloy-21 metal powder using either vacuum or inert gas atomization techniques, with stringent controls over chemical composition and particle size distribution to meet exacting aerospace standards. The production process must ensure consistency and purity essential for critical applications in aerospace systems, where material performance is non-negotiable. All batches must be produced under tightly regulated conditions to minimize contaminants and maintain the alloy’s structural and mechanical integrity. Submitted by NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, this subcontract was posted on June 17, 2026, with a response deadline of June 23, 2026, at 7:00 PM. The NAICS code 331410 categorizes this as a primary metal manufacturing activity, indicating the need for specialized metallurgical expertise. The place of performance and contract location details are unspecified, but the work is expected to support NASA’s advanced material development programs. No set-aside provisions apply, and the opportunity is open to qualified contractors capable of meeting the technical and quality demands of the specification.
