Summary (Newest Update)

Background NASA/NSSC has a requirement for Additively Manufactured Ti64 and Ni718 Very High Cycle Fatigue Test Bars. NASA intends to issue a sole source contract to ATI LADISH LLC, located at 5301 W Copans RD, Margate, Florida 33063, as they are determined to be the sole provider for this requirement. The procurement will be managed by NASA/NSSC with performance taking place at NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). Work Details The contract involves the fabrication and post-processing of additively manufactured GRCop-42 test specimens to evaluate very high cycle fatigue and thin wall tensile properties for applications in rotating detonation engine components. The vendor must produce test bars with no witness lines, restarts, or coater arm tears. Specific tasks include: Task 1: Production of GRCop-42 Test Specimens - Produce test bars as per dimensions provided by NASA engineers. Task 2: Post Processing of Additively Manufactured Components - Conduct necessary post-processing steps including depowdering and removal from the build plate using electrical discharge machining (EDM). - Parts will undergo Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) operations at a mutually agreed vendor. Requirements for Additively Manufactured GRCop-alloy hardware: 1. Fabricate all test specimens using powder bed fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing. 2. Provide material to complete all builds. 3. Ensure a minimum density of 99.2% in the as-built condition before any post-processing. 4. Remove all test bars from the build plate by wire EDM prior to HIP. 5. Set aside one blank bar and one thin section tensile coupon in the as-printed condition for NASA personnel pickup. 6. Provide documentation on powder lots used during fabrication including chemical composition and powder certificate. 7. Complete HIP according to NASA processing parameters. 8. Maintain requested as-built surface finish without media blasting. 9. Report any anomalies during the build process to MSFC Technical Point of Contact. 10. Deliver parts to Marshall Space Flight Center. 11. Provide a basic build package including any build anomalies and data relative to process validation under AS9100, ISO9001, or similar standards. Period of Performance The period of performance for the required tasks shall be six (6) weeks from the time of contract award. Place of Performance NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL 35812.
