2K Laser Powder bed Fusion Combustion Chamber and Specialty Alloy Build Processing

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA/NSSC) has issued a Special Notice for a sole source contract with North American Manufacturing Pros LLC for 2K Laser Powder Bed Fusion Combustion Chamber and Specialty Alloy Build Processing. The procurement will be conducted at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and is classified under NAICS code 561990. NASA has determined that North American Manufacturing Pros LLC is the sole provider for these specialized manufacturing services. The contract will be processed using commercial item acquisition procedures outlined in FAR Parts 12 and 13. The agency is seeking to evaluate potential contractor capabilities through written submissions before making a final determination on competitive procurement.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to acquire advanced additive manufacturing capabilities for aerospace component development, specifically focusing on laser powder bed fusion of nickel-based alloys like GRCop-42. Interested organizations must submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing by 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on April 11, 2025. The procurement involves five key tasks including chamber liner builds, L-PBF machine leasing, mechanical testing, component machining, and post-processing surface enhancements. Contractors should be prepared to deliver built parts, test reports, and processed components to NASA's Central Receiving at Marshall Space Flight Center. While the notice indicates a sole source intention, NASA will review any submitted capabilities to potentially reconsider full and open competition, with the final competitive determination remaining solely at the government's discretion.
