This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for mechanical testing services related to high-temperature, very high cycle fatigue and tensile testing of specialized NASA-developed alloys. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), specifically Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), requires an independent laboratory to validate material properties for design purposes.

The vendor must receive, inspect, and track samples, then machine and perform mechanical testing according to specified matrices, completing all work within 30 weeks of sample receipt. The contractor must maintain Nadcap and A2LA (ISO/IEC 17025:2017) accreditation in ASTM E8/21 and E606/E466 testing standards and demonstrate prior experience with oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys including GRX-810, ORCalloy-21, and Alloy 754-ODS. Specific testing requirements include low cycle fatigue (LCF) testing at room and elevated temperatures up to 2100°F on minimum 100 specimens per condition, tensile testing on minimum 100 room temperature samples and minimum 100 elevated temperature samples up to 2100°F, and high cycle fatigue (HCF) load control testing at temperatures up to 2000°F on minimum 100 total HCF specimens. All machining and testing must be performed onsite at the contractor's facility; no subcontracting of testing is permitted without NASA approval. The vendor must provide a fatigue load frame capable of running very high cycle fatigue samples (100 million to 1 billion cycles) with approximately 6,700 hours of continuous operation, report test overruns for LCF and HCF early, provide updates allowing condition adjustments, and deliver a final test report with summary data, digital data files (csv or excel format), and raw data including hysteresis curves. Deliverables must be shipped to Marshall Space Flight Center, Central Receiving, Building 4631, Huntsville, AL 35812.
