The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Glenn Research Center awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to Fort Wayne Metals Research Products, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of precision wire-based materials and components. The $5 million IDC, originally awarded in April 2020 and set to complete in April 2025, is for the fabrication, testing, qualification, and delivery of wire and individual shape memory alloy (SMA) spring elements for use in the construction of prototype, engineering models and flight-qualified components, primarily in support of NASA's Mars Sample Return project.
Under this IDC, NASA has issued numerous firm fixed-price delivery orders totaling over $4.9 million to date, covering a range of technical tasks including material testing packages, facility upgrades, investigations into new processing routes for specialized wire production, and the fabrication and testing of SMA springs exhibiting pseudoelastic behavior across a wide temperature range. The contract work is primarily performed at Fort Wayne Metals' facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana and does not have any set-aside designations, indicating open competition.
