The NASA Shared Services Center awarded a purchase order to Inter-National Electronics Alloys LLC for $26,223 on September 25, 2026, for Hiperco 50A billet to support manufacturing of magnetic circuit elements for the Advanced Mid-Power Electric Rocket (AMPERE) Hall thruster. This is a total small business set-aside, firm fixed price acquisition. The billet—one unit per ASTM A801-21 Alloy 1, measuring 7 inches by 14 inches by 7 inches (approximately 206 pounds)—will be delivered to NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, with completion required by October 15, 2026. Hiperco 50A is the sole material meeting required magnetic specifications; use of alternatives would incur an estimated $100 thousand cost premium and 4-month schedule delay. The order stems from a solicitation posted September 11, 2026, with quotes due September 17, 2026.
