Attachment 3 - Redacted J_A_Antimony.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (J&A) from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for Antimony Metal Ingots. DLA Strategic Materials intends to issue a sole source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to United States Antimony Corporation (USAC) for a five-year period. The acquisition is for antimony metal, which can be transformed into forms needed by the Department of Defense for critical systems, including components for munitions and defense applications.

The justification highlights the strategic importance of domestic antimony production, particularly given China's current dominance of the global antimony supply chain and recent export restrictions. USAC is currently the only qualified domestic source of antimony metal in the United States. The contract will allow USAC to maintain its facility, production, and manufacturing capabilities, with the estimated contract value redacted in the document. The procurement will be executed as a Request for Proposal (RFP) under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, synopsized on SAM.gov for approximately two weeks, providing potential offerors a reasonable opportunity to respond.
