About this award
ICD Alloys and Metals LLC has been awarded a $3.6 million definitive contract by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), an agency under the Department of Defense, for the domestic production of tantalum metals. The contract, awarded on January 21, 2026, with a completion date of July 31, 2029, will be performed in Winston-Salem, North Carolina under firm fixed-price terms. This award emerges from a Broad Agency Announcement posted in January 2025 that sought research and development proposals to address supply chain vulnerabilities in critical materials by developing domestic production capabilities and identifying substitutes for materials currently dependent on unreliable foreign sources.
The underlying solicitation, which offered a five-year, $95 million program ceiling across multiple awards, prioritized development of material and production process alternatives for strategic applications including energetic materials, nuclear and space systems components, aeronautical materials, and armor materials. ICD Alloys and Metals' award reflects the government's strategic initiative to strengthen domestic tantalum production capabilities and reduce dependence on foreign mining and refining operations. The contract contains no set-aside designation and represents the DLA's commitment to securing reliable domestic sources for materials critical to national defense and space operations.
