3 Month L-PBF of DS Steels and Refractory Alloys

The Government intends to award a sole‑source contract to perform a three‑month laser powder‑bed fusion (L‑PBF) effort focused on duplex‑stainless (DS) steels and refractory alloys at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The work is classified as a commercial item/service and will be used to develop and validate L‑PBF process parameters for high‑temperature materials. • Scope: Provide L‑PBF services (machine time, powder handling, build execution, and post‑process) for DS steels and refractory alloys. • Duration: 3 months of effort, with a required submission of a capability statement by 7 a.m. CST on 16 Oct 2026. • Procurement: Sole‑source solicitation (ID 80NSSC27943768Q) with the intent to award to the identified vendor; no pricing or quotes are being evaluated at this stage.
