Corrosion-Resistant Steel (CRES) Raw Materials

NASA Shared Services Center is soliciting quotes for Corrosion-Resistant Steel (CRES) raw materials under Request for Quotation 80NSSC27949259Q, with quotes due November 18, 2026. The Shared Services Center, located at Stennis Space Center, is procuring on behalf of Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), which will use the material for propulsion hardware fabrication. No set-aside is used, and award is made on a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) basis to the lowest-priced, technically compliant offeror.

The contractor must deliver 30 line items of CRES material in bars, wire, sheet, foil, and tubing to MSFC in Huntsville, Alabama, within six weeks of contract award, with partial shipments permitted as material becomes available. The period of performance runs December 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027. Place of performance is Huntsville, AL 35812.

All material must be of domestic production, covering melt, remelts, mill processing, heat treatment, cutting, and finishing. Heat treatment must follow MIL-H-6875 or AMS-H-6875. The contractor must be a domestic producing mill or an authorized metals distributor with full heat and lot traceability to the producing mill; brokers and third-party intermediaries without mill traceability are ineligible. Quality management must be an active ISO 9001 or AS9100 system, with NIST-calibrated measuring equipment. Deliverables include EN 10204 3.1 or equivalent Certified Material Test Reports per heat or lot, heat treatment certifications with hardness results, and Certificates of Conformance identifying country of melt and manufacture. NASA may independently verify chemistry, hardness, and country of origin.

Offerors must register in SAM.gov and provide their CAGE Code/UEI, ARO delivery time, and FOB Destination pricing. Quotes are valid for 30 days, and payment terms are NET 30. Quotes go to tracy.g.bremer@nasa.gov. Written questions are due November 16, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. CT. The NAICS code is 331410, and the PSC is 9650.
