About this IDV
The Defense Logistics Agency Strategic Materials awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Global Advanced Metals USA Inc. on September 5, 2025, for tantalum ingots with a $100 million ceiling and a single-award designation, running through September 30, 2030.
This is a sole-source procurement justified by unique sourcing requirements and limited domestic production capabilities for tantalum ingots meeting Department of Defense specifications. The contract procures up to 535,440.23 pounds of tantalum ingots conforming to ASTM B364-18 Type R05200 standards in shelf-stable form readily deployable for defense systems. Manufacturing and packaging occur at Global Advanced Metals' Boyertown, Pennsylvania facility; deliveries are directed to DLA Strategic Materials Scotia Depot in New York. The solicitation, posted August 1, 2025, with proposals due August 15, 2025, sought technical descriptions, Certificates of Analysis, and pricing submissions with third-party testing required for each lot. Two amendments addressed vendor questions and corrected ingot dimensional specifications to 12 inches diameter by approximately 28 inches length to accommodate pallet requirements. The contract carries a minimum guarantee of $5,000 and uses firm fixed-price delivery orders with estimated annual quantities ranging from 41,753.65 to 138,532.93 pounds.
Two delivery orders have been issued: a $108.81 million order on September 11, 2025, with completion September 9, 2028, and a $15.07 million order on April 6, 2026, completing April 5, 2029. Both orders are priced firm fixed price with no set-aside.
