The U.S. Department of Defense, through its Strategic Materials division, awarded a $2.01M firm fixed-price delivery order to RIO Tinto Services Inc. for Scandium Oxide Task Order One. The contract was awarded on December 10, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 10, 2030, and will be performed at the contractor's facility in Hammond, Indiana. RIO Tinto Services Inc., operating under its Technical division and doing business as RIO Tinto Logistics, was selected without any set-aside designation. This delivery order supports the Department of Defense's supply chain for scandium oxide, a critical rare earth element used in defense applications including aerospace, electronics, and advanced materials manufacturing.
The five-year performance period reflects the strategic importance of securing reliable domestic sources for scandium oxide, a material essential to maintaining industrial base capabilities for defense purposes. As a firm fixed-price contract, the $2.01M ceiling represents the maximum government obligation, and RIO Tinto Services Inc. assumes responsibility for managing costs throughout the delivery order's execution through December 2030.
