Attachment A: Titanium Work Statement of Work

STATEMENT of WORK (SOW)

TITANIUM

1. INTRODUCTION

Titanium (Ti) is a metallic element most known for high-strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. These properties along with its relatively high melting point makes titanium ideal for jet engines and airframes. Military airframes require a much higher percentage of titanium than commercial planes because of their extreme dynamic and static loads. In addition to aerospace applications, titanium is also used in maritime and industrial applications due to its resistance to corrosion in seawater and acidic environments. Due to its importance, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Strategic Materials received authority to procure titanium in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

2. SCOPE OF WORK

DLA intends to purchase aerospace grade titanium ingots as stated in throughout this solicitation.
