Purchase of Haynes alloy sheet

NASA Shared Services Center at Stennis Space Center is soliciting quotes for Haynes alloy sheet in four superalloy grades (Haynes 230, 233, 244, and 282), with quotes due October 30, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. Central Time. No set-aside is used, but the RFQ is a brand name requirement, and the attached single-source justification, dated September 14, 2026, states that competition is impractical because the alloys are proprietary to Haynes International. The RFQ summary describes full and open competition, so the two documents conflict. Written questions are due October 29, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. Central Time to Cara Craft at cara.s.craft@nasa.gov, and telephone questions are not accepted.

Material is delivered to NASA Glenn Research Center, 21000 Brookpark Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44143, with place of performance listed as Cleveland, OH 44135. The sheet must be 0.08" thick with a +0.055"/-0.005" tolerance, in sizes from a minimum of 12" (RD) x 12" (TD) to a maximum of 120" (RD) x 48" (TD). Vendors must supply 30 square feet total, all from the same heat/lot. If a vendor can cut sheets to 40" segments in the rolling direction, that cost must be included in the quote. The justification estimates a three-month lead time.

Quotes must include a CAGE code, lead time, FOB Destination pricing, cost per unit, shipping cost, the OEM name, lot numbers, AMS certification, and verification of AMS compliance for both chemistry and mechanical properties. Quotes must include two points of contact and remain valid for 30 days. All bids must be submitted as PDF, and offerors must be registered in SAM.gov. Evaluation uses lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) methodology. The contract is firm-fixed-price with the total price listed as TBD. The NAICS code is 331491, and the PSC is 9535.
