Aluminum Alloy Raw Materials

The NASA Shared Services Center is soliciting quotes on behalf of NASA Marshall Space Flight Center for five line items of wrought aluminum alloy raw materials supporting propulsion hardware fabrication, with technical questions due November 16, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Central Time and quotes due November 18, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Central Time. The Set Aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used," and the RFQ designates the procurement full and open.

Place of performance is Huntsville, Alabama 35812, with delivery to Marshall Space Flight Center within six weeks of contract award. Partial shipments are authorized as material becomes available. Eligible offerors are domestic producing mills or authorized metals distributors maintaining full heat or lot traceability to the producing mill. Brokers and third-party intermediaries without mill traceability are ineligible. Melt, remelt, and mill processing must occur domestically, and cutting and finishing must also be performed domestically unless NASA grants prior written approval.

Line items are two 1100-alloy round bars (quantity 6 each), one 6061-alloy round bar in T6 temper (quantity 6), one 6061-alloy plate in T6 temper (quantity 12), and one 6061-alloy seamless tube in T6 temper (quantity 6). T651 and T6511 are acceptable alternates for the 6061 T6 items. Each shipment requires a Certified Material Test Report per EN 10204 3.1, a Certificate of Conformance, traceability statements for distributors, and an itemized packing list. The SOW requires ISO 9001 or AS9100 certification and NIST-calibrated equipment, and reserves NASA's right to conduct source inspection.

Award goes to the responsible offeror with the lowest price technically acceptable offer. The contract is firm fixed-price, with the total amount determined at award. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov, provide their CAGE Code/UEI and ARO delivery time, and agree to FOB Destination pricing with NET 30 payment terms. Contractors must submit a delivery schedule within ten business days of award and notify NASA of anticipated delays within five business days. NASA will issue written acceptance or rejection within thirty calendar days of shipment receipt. The SOW lists the period of performance as December 1, 2026 through January 31, 2026, an end date that precedes the start date. No incumbent is named.
