This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) was awarded by the Goddard Space Center, a civilian federal agency, to American Metals Inc., a woman-owned small business. The BPA has a total value of $265,622.07 and a period of performance from September 2014 to May 2020.

The purpose of the BPA is to provide fabrication services and supplies to the Advanced Manufacturing Branch at Goddard Space Center for the development of instruments and hardware for space flight and non-space flight applications. This includes manufacturing close-tolerance aerospace parts from materials such as aluminum, titanium, steel, and composites to industry standards. The fabricated parts can range in complexity from simple to very complex, with varying quantities. Vendors providing "space flight" parts must be ISO 9001 or AS9100 compliant, while "non-flight" items do not require this certification. The BPA was awarded as a total small business set-aside with the place of performance at the vendor's site in Indian Land, South Carolina.

Small business set-aside, 63 offers place of performance: vendor site fabrication of commercial services and supplies for goddard space flight center the advanced manufacturing branch (AMB) is responsible for maintaining a complete manufacturing facility to meet the center's research and development requirements and assist in the fabrication of hardware requirements from multiple NASA project missions. This facility includes conventional machining equipment, numerically controlled (NC) machining centers, sheet metal and welding fabrication equipment and remotely located staff shops. Vendors shall provide fabrication services and supplies to the manufacturing engineering group in their respective areas of expertise for the development of instruments and space flight and non-spaceflight hardware interchangeable piece parts. Vendors will manufacture per engineering drawings with aerospace industry tolerances and provide fabrication capabilities in accordance with the statement of work. To fabricate close tolerance aerospace instruments and space flight grade parts, in various materials such as (but not limited to) aluminum, titanium, high strength steel and nickel alloy, engineering plastics, and composites based on industry engineering drawings, provided in electronic format, to industry standard tolerances and specifications. Parts may range in complexity from very simple to very complex, with quantities. Each discipline is further divided into subcategories based on the expected size of fabricated parts. The fabrications of products or services proposed as "spaceflight" are required to be, ISO 900I or AS9100 complaint, items proposed as "non-flight" will not require respondents to be ISO 9001 or AS9100 compliant. Offers shall indicate if they are ISO 9001 or AS9100 complaint and provide supporting documentation.
