About this opportunity
NASA Shared Services Center seeks procurement of one Hiperco 50A billet per ASTM A801-21 Alloy 1 with dimensions of 7 inches by 14 inches by 7 inches (approximately 206 pounds), with quotes due September 17, 2026. This is a total small business set-aside with a brand name requirement for Hiperco 50A material only.
Delivery is required to NASA Glenn Research Center, 21000 Brookpark Road, Building 301 VF6 Bay, Cleveland, Ohio 44135, on an FOB Destination basis with Net 30 payment terms. The procurement supports manufacturing of magnetic circuit elements for the Advanced Mid-Power Electric Rocket (AMPERE) Hall thruster at NASA Glenn's Electric Propulsion Systems Branch. Hiperco 50A is the only material meeting required specifications due to its unique magnetic characteristics (BH curve) and cold forge processing capability necessary to achieve thruster performance and life requirements; competition is deemed impractical. If alternative materials or vendors are used, the estimated additional cost for manufacturing a replacement mid-power thruster magnetic circuit is $100 thousand with an anticipated 4-month schedule delay.
Vendors must be authorized resellers and must submit a Letter of Authorization confirming resale authorization, along with proof of pricing from the manufacturer, CAGE Code, UEI number, ARO delivery time/lead time, and any applicable shipping costs and discounts. Quotes will be evaluated using a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) approach. Written contractual and technical questions are due September 15, 2026, at 12:00 PM CT. The NAICS code is 332117, Powder Metallurgy Part Manufacturing. All vendors must be registered at SAM.gov and submit quotes with two points of contact. Quotes must reference the Notice ID in the subject line and be submitted to laura.a.quave@nasa.gov.
