About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground has issued a Sources Sought Notice for GRX-810 Powder under proposed solicitation number W911QX-25-Q-A057. The agency is conducting market research to identify qualified contractors capable of supplying 200 kilograms of Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (OSD), nickel-based alloy GRX-810 powder with specific technical parameters, including a Laser Powder Bed Fusion size fraction of 15-45 micrometers. This notice is classified under NAICS code 331110 (Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing) with a 1,500 employee size standard and falls under PSC code 9630 for Additive Metal Materials. Interested parties must respond by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on July 28, 2025, providing details on their ability to meet specifications, business type and size classification, small business status, past performance through completed projects, and country of origin. Responses should be submitted via email to Benjamin Krein, Contract Specialist, at benjamin.l.krein.civ@army.mil, and the government emphasizes this is for market research purposes only with no guarantee of a forthcoming solicitation.
This Sources Sought Notice does not include any set-aside designations, though the government strongly encourages participation from small businesses, including Section 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Women-Owned Small Business, and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business contractors. No incumbent contractors or current suppliers are identified in the documentation, and no budget ranges or estimated contract values are disclosed. The key quantitative requirement is the delivery of 200 kilograms of the specialized powder material to the United States Army Research Laboratory at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The estimated delivery timeframe is no later than eight weeks after contract award, indicating the government's need for relatively rapid fulfillment once a contract is established. The notice emphasizes that specific requirements are subject to change prior to any formal solicitation release.
