About this IDV
NASA's Glenn Research Center awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery contract to Fort Wayne Metals Research Products, LLC with a ceiling of $14 million on September 9, 2025, for processing trials, testing, fabrication, and delivery of shape memory alloy wire and alternate forms to be evaluated for use in constructing SMA tire technologies for extreme environments.
Performance occurs at Fort Wayne Metals' facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The contract runs from September 9, 2025 through September 9, 2030. The originating solicitation, posted December 20, 2024, sought SMA wire and alternate forms for developing non-pneumatic, compliant tire technology intended for lunar and Mars rover missions, with work encompassing fabrication, rigorous testing, documentation, and process development. The government initially pursued sole-source justification under FAR 6.302-1, citing that Fort Wayne Metals could satisfy specific requirements including expertise in processing and fabricating SMA materials capable of operating at extremely low temperatures down to 40 Kelvin, with SAE AS9100 quality assurance standards and robust configuration management and contamination control protocols.
Since award, NASA has issued at least one firm fixed-price delivery order under this IDIQ: a $156,528 task order awarded September 26, 2025, with completion targeted for January 30, 2026, covering process design, development, and testing of wire materials aligned with Sections 3.2 and 3.5 of the base contract. Delivery orders issued to date total over $4.9 million against the contract ceiling.
