About this award

NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $248,985 firm-fixed-price purchase order to RPM Innovations Inc. for Directed Energy Deposition JBK-75 Representative Process Build Samples. The contract, which was not set-aside for small businesses, was awarded on July 28, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of January 28, 2026. RPM Innovations, a manufacturer of advanced directed energy deposition laser systems based in Rapid City, South Dakota, was selected as the sole source provider under Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) due to its unique capabilities in aerospace manufacturing. Work will be performed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Under this contract, RPM Innovations will develop and deliver directed energy deposition process build samples using JBK-75 alloy for RS-25 rocket engine nozzle fabrication. The deliverables include witness specimens, machine setup assessments, and demonstration of laser powder directed energy deposition capabilities, with a requirement to achieve at least 70% deposition of a thin-wall large-scale RS-25 nozzle prototype using a build volume of at least 60 inches in diameter by 72 inches in height. The six-month effort supports NASA's advanced manufacturing technology development for the Space Launch System program and demonstrates critical capabilities for fabricating complex rocket engine components using specialized materials and processes.
