About this opportunity
NASA/NSSC announced a sole-source procurement for raw materials for magnetic alloy development, with a capability statement deadline of October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. NASA intends to award to American Elements under FAR 12.102(a), but will evaluate submitted capability statements to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis; the decision to proceed non-competitively remains solely within government discretion. Performance will be located at NASA Glenn Research Center. The Statement of Work specifies high-purity metallic elements (minimum 99.9% purity) in piece form: 15 kilograms of Niobium, 5 kilograms of Tantalum, 100 kilograms of Cobalt, and 50 kilograms of Iron. Piece size must fall between 1/8 inch and 1 inch maximum, with impurities such as Calcium, Magnesium, Titanium, Aluminum, and Sulfur not exceeding 0.05% by mass. Each delivery must include a certificate of chemical analysis. NAICS 325180 applies. Interested organizations must submit only capability statements and qualifications in writing to Cody Guidry (Cody.d.guidry@nasa.gov), the procuring specialist; quotes and oral communications will not be accepted or evaluated. NASA FAR Supplement Clause 1852.215-84 (Ombudsman) applies.
