About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA/NSSC) has issued a Special Notice for a specialized manufacturing technology contract focusing on Scanning Evaluation and Directed Energy Deposition of Thin-Wall RS25 Aft Demonstrator. The agency intends to issue a sole source contract to RPM INNOVATIONS, INC., located in Rapid City, South Dakota, under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) authority. NASA has determined that RPM INNOVATIONS is the sole provider capable of performing this specific technical work. The performance of this contract will be located at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, with the procurement following commercial items and services procedures outlined in FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13. The contract falls under NAICS Code 332117 for Powder Metallurgy Part Manufacturing.
Interested organizations are invited to submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing by 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on February 18, 2025, to be evaluated for potential competitive procurement. The primary objective is to develop a manufacturing technology demonstration using a Laser Powder Directed Energy Deposition process to fabricate a JBK-75 RS-25 aft end nozzle demonstrator. Contractors must demonstrate the ability to prepare a large-scale build plate support and complete a minimum 20% deposition of the thin-wall RS-25 nozzle aft portion within 55 consecutive days. Key technical requirements include capability for 1mm wall thickness, combined height greater than 90", and diameter greater than 80", using specific JBK-75 Fe-Ni alloy powder. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with full and open competition based on the responses received. Interested parties should note that oral communications are not acceptable, and the NASA Clause 1852.215-84 Ombudsman provision is applicable to this acquisition.
