About this opportunity
NASA's National Space Science Center issued a sole-source justification notice for Fused Silicide Coating of Refractory Alloy Specimens, with a response deadline of July 28, 2026. NASA/NSSC intends to award the contract exclusively to HITEMCO LLC under FAR 12.102(a) authority, having determined that HITEMCO is the sole provider capable of performing this work. Performance will occur at NASA Glenn Research Center.
The effort requires application of two proprietary HITEMCO coating formulations to refractory alloy specimens using slurry-fused diffusion coating methods: thirty specimens with HITEMCO R512E (Si-20Fe-20Cr composition) and twenty-four specimens with HITEMCO R512A (Si-20Cr-5Ti composition). All specimens must achieve uniform coating thickness of 0.003" to 0.005" on TGA geometry (12x12x3 millimeters with hole) and meet minimum HITEMCO standards. Each coating batch will undergo diffusion heat treatment as a single lot.
Interested organizations may challenge the sole-source determination by submitting written capability statements and qualifications to Laura Quave, Procurement Specialist II (laura.a.quave@nasa.gov), no later than 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on July 28, 2026. The government will evaluate submissions solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement competitively; the final decision rests entirely within government discretion. Oral communications are not acceptable. Reference Notice ID 80NSSC26937435Q in all correspondence. NASA FAR Supplement Clause 1852.215-84 (Ombudsman) applies.
