About this award
The Defense Department's Strategic Materials division awarded a $244,956 firm fixed price purchase order to Tungco, Incorporated to develop production processes for sodium tungstate derived from low-grade tungsten scrap and waste materials. The contract, which commenced on August 29, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of August 28, 2025, requires the contractor to establish proof-of-concept feedstock applications for domestic tungstate production. This effort supports the federal government's strategic objective to develop domestic capacity for critical materials processing and reduce reliance on foreign tungsten sources, which are essential for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. The work will be performed at Tungco's facility in Madisonville, Kentucky.
The award carries no set-aside designation and represents a straightforward procurement of research and development services to advance domestic mineral processing capabilities. By focusing on the conversion of scrap and waste materials into usable tungstate products, the contract addresses both supply chain resilience and resource efficiency objectives within the Defense Department's strategic materials portfolio. The one-year timeline suggests an intensive development and validation phase, with deliverables likely including process documentation, feasibility assessments, and pilot production results demonstrating the viability of tungstate production from secondary feedstock sources.
