This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for aluminum alloy raw material procurement issued by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.

NASA requires the procurement of wrought aluminum alloy raw materials to support propulsion hardware fabrication. The scope encompasses procurement, cutting to size, certification, packaging, and delivery of aluminum bar, plate, and tube stock, along with associated material certifications and documentation. Five specific items are required: two round bars (1100 alloy, F temper), two items in 6061 alloy (T6 temper—one round bar and one plate), and one seamless tube (6061 alloy, T6 temper). All material must be domestic U.S. production, including initial melt, remelts, and all mill processing. Cutting and finishing operations must also be performed in the United States. Material must be new, unused, and traceable to the original domestic producing mill. Partial shipments are authorized as material becomes available, with all items required to be delivered within six weeks of contract award. The contractor must provide a Certified Material Test Report (CMTR) per EN 10204 3.1 for each heat or lot, a Certificate of Conformance (CoC) for each shipment, traceability statements (for distributors), and itemized packing lists with tracking information. Dimensional requirements specify nominal mill sizes for cross-sections and minimum dimensions for cut lengths and widths, with allowances up to +0.125 inches oversizing. Quality assurance requirements include ISO 9001/AS9100 certification, NIST-calibrated equipment, and NASA's right to perform independent verification and source inspection. The acceptance process includes receipt inspection (visual, dimensional, and documentation review), documentation review within twenty business days, and written acceptance or rejection within thirty calendar days of shipment receipt. The Period of Performance is stated as December 1, 2026 through January 31, 2026 (appearing to contain a date error). Shipping is FOB Destination to Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, with all shipping costs included in the contractor's price. The contractor must be either a domestic producing mill or an authorized metals distributor with full heat/lot traceability; brokers and third-party intermediaries lacking mill traceability are ineligible.
