Metallic Materials Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA)

Provide a range of metallic materials to support various research and development programs at NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC). The contractor will supply materials such as aluminum alloys, carbon steels, copper alloys, nickel alloys, and stainless steels in various forms, including sheets, plates, and bars. These materials are essential for ongoing projects within the Manufacturing Applications Branch, ensuring that the necessary resources are available for innovative research and development activities.
Awardees will be responsible for fulfilling individual call orders for materials throughout the agreement's duration. This involves maintaining a comprehensive inventory of the required metallic materials and ensuring timely delivery to NASA Langley Research Center or other designated locations as specified in each call order. The BPA facilitates efficient procurement processes, allowing the center to focus on its core mission of advancing aerospace technology and research.
The agreement emphasizes the importance of quality and reliability in the supply of metallic materials. Contractors are expected to adhere to stringent quality standards and provide certifications such as ISO 9001 and NAD-CAP. Additionally, contractors must demonstrate past performance in delivering similar products to government agencies or private industry, ensuring that NASA Langley Research Center receives high-quality materials that meet its exacting standards.
