Raw Materials for Magnetic Alloy Development

NASA’s Glenn Research Center is seeking high‑purity raw metallic materials for the development of magnetic alloys. The requirement is for specific quantities of niobium, tantalum, cobalt and iron, each meeting strict purity and impurity limits, and must be accompanied by a certificate of chemical analysis. This is a sole‑source solicitation, meaning only the identified vendor (American Elements) will be considered, but capability statements are being collected to assess potential competition. • Materials needed: 15 kg Nb, 5 kg Ta, 100 kg Co, 50 kg Fe. • Purity ≥ 99.9 % with impurity limits < 0.05 % by mass for specified elements. • Delivery to NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio; no budget or schedule details disclosed. • Capability statements due by 3 p.m. CST 19 Oct 2026; no quotes accepted at this stage.
