This is a Statement of Work (SOW)/Requirements document for the procurement of high purity metallic elements for magnetic alloy development. The procurement involves supplying raw materials that will be homogenized into ingot form through vacuum induction melting and planar flow casting to produce amorphous ribbons. Rough pieces are specified rather than powders to facilitate electromagnetic coupling during melting and to reduce nozzle clogging during planar flow casting.

The Statement of Work specifies four line items: 15 kilograms of Niobium (Nb), 5 kilograms of Tantalum (Ta), 100 kilograms of Cobalt (Co), and 50 kilograms of Iron (Fe). All materials must meet strict purity requirements of at least 99.9% and must be supplied in piece form with a maximum allowable piece size of less than 1 inch and minimum size greater than 1/8 inch. Materials must be clean and homogeneous with very low impurity content, specifically requiring impurities such as Calcium, Magnesium, Titanium, Aluminum, and Sulfur to be less than 0.05% by mass. Each delivery must include a certificate of chemical analysis documenting compliance with the specified purity and impurity requirements.
