Vacuum/Inert Melting and Gas Atomization Production

The contract involves the production of 2,635 pounds of JBK-75-AM1 metal powder using vacuum or inert atmosphere induction melting followed by argon or helium gas atomization to achieve precise particle size distribution and chemical composition. The material must comply with stringent quality standards to ensure consistency and performance in advanced aerospace applications. The process requires controlled environments to prevent contamination and maintain the alloy’s integrity throughout production. The work is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 331110 and is managed by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Proposals must be submitted by July 9, 2026, at 7:00 PM, with the solicitation posted on July 6, 2026. The place of performance and point of contact information are not specified, and no set-aside designation is indicated, meaning the opportunity is open to all qualified contractors without preference.
