PSC Category 9660 (Precious Metals Primary Forms) encompasses the procurement and delivery of raw precious metal materials, specifically gold and silver bullion, primarily for the United States Mint's coin production operations. These materials are critical for manufacturing circulating coins, commemorative coins, bullion coins, and national medals. The category represents high-value contracts for sourcing and delivering unprocessed precious metals in various forms, including raw bullion bars and ingots. Recent federal contract awards in this category are predominantly firm fixed-price delivery orders issued by the United States Mint, typically ranging from approximately $1 million to $50 million per contract. Key contractors include Stonex Financial LTD (United Kingdom), Asahi Refining USA Inc., A-Mark Precious Metals, Coins 'N Things Inc., and The Toronto-Dominion Bank. These awards are part of larger indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) contracts with extended performance periods through 2040, enabling the Mint to maintain a steady supply of precious metals. The contracts are not set aside for specific business types, and performance locations include facilities in the United States and international sources like the United Kingdom. Most awards support the Mint's ongoing coin production programs with delivery timeframes spanning several weeks to months. The federal contract opportunities in this category include a special notice from the Department of Energy regarding high-temperature compact heat exchangers using refractory metal designs, and a small business set-aside solicitation from the Army Materiel Command for 10,000 pounds of 17-4 stainless steel ingot. The DOE opportunity focuses on innovative heat exchanger technology for industrial applications, while the Army solicitation seeks foundry casting materials for the Rock Island Arsenal Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center. Both opportunities demonstrate the diverse applications of precious metal and metal-related procurement within federal agencies.
