RTX Corporation's Pratt & Whitney division was awarded a $249,672 firm fixed-price purchase order on September 5, 2024, to manufacture 120 three-dimensional composite dogbone specimens using chemical vapor infiltration silicon carbide/silicon carbide (CVI-SiC/SiC) ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials. The award, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center, was structured as a sole-source procurement under Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), with NASA determining that Pratt & Whitney is the sole capable provider of these specialized specimens. Work will be performed in Cleveland, Ohio, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2025. The requirement for CMC dogbone specimens aligns with NASA's advanced materials research and development initiatives, particularly in aerospace propulsion and thermal protection systems where ceramic matrix composites offer superior high-temperature performance. The procurement utilized commercial item acquisition procedures under FAR Parts 12 and 13, and no small business set-aside was applied despite the solicitation initially being posted as a total small business set-aside opportunity. This contract represents a continuation of Pratt & Whitney's specialized role as a critical supplier of advanced aerospace materials and components to federal agencies, leveraging the company's extensive expertise in composite material manufacturing for demanding aerospace applications.
