This is a $223,464 firm-fixed-price purchase order awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Lockheed Martin Corporation for research and development of explosive hydroforming of a friction stir welded aluminum-lithium alloy blank. The contract work will be conducted at NASA's Langley Research Center and is not set aside.
The contract was awarded in response to a sole source Special Notice published by NASA seeking capabilities from interested organizations. The intent was to evaluate responses solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement competitively. Based on the responses, NASA decided to award the contract to Lockheed Martin as the sole provider of this R&D effort. A key subcontractor is Safran Nacelles, who will perform high-energy hydroforming work under the prime contract. This contract supports NASA's ongoing research and development activities, particularly in advanced aerospace manufacturing techniques.
