About this opportunity

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Center has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) to award a sole-source contract to Materion Brush Inc. for the procurement of approximately 898 pounds of I-220-H instrument-grade Beryllium (Be) to support the construction of the Earth Dynamics Geodetic Explorer (EDGE) 1.2 m diameter Beryllium telescope. The EDGE mission, selected by NASA's Earth System Explorers (ESE) program, will observe the 3D structure of terrestrial ecosystems and surface topography changes. The JOFOC justifies the sole-source award to Materion Brush as the only known supplier of the required I-220-H grade Beryllium, which has unique properties critical to the EDGE telescope's performance. The proposed 55-week contract will provide the Beryllium as government-furnished material to General Dynamics for the EDGE telescope fabrication.
