About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Strategic Materials is seeking proposals through a Broad Agency Announcement for the National Defense Stockpile Industry Material Test (IMT) program to test and qualify strategic and critical materials from domestic sources. The program aims to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers and mitigate single points of failure in defense supply chains across six areas of interest: Energetic Materials, Energy and Power Materials, Aeronautical and Astronautical Materials, Armor Materials, Stable Isotopes, and Paints, Coatings, and Surface Treatments. Offerors must submit an initial project synopsis consisting of an unclassified quad chart and white paper, with selected proposers invited to submit full technical and cost proposals limited to 30 pages. The government will evaluate proposals based on technical merit, transition potential to DoD programs, scientific innovation, and past performance, categorizing them from Category I (highest priority) to Category IV. White papers were originally accepted until September 1, 2025, but Amendment 001 officially closed the BAA as of September 30, 2025, though already submitted white papers will still be processed.
This opportunity has no set-aside designation and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. Individual contract awards are not expected to exceed $250,000 with a twelve-month base period and two one-year option periods for a maximum total performance period of three years. Awards may be made on a firm-fixed-price, cost reimbursement, or hybrid basis depending on the specific requirements. Large businesses must provide a small business subcontracting plan, and all offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). The place of performance is listed as Virginia, USA, though the specific testing arrangements may vary as testing can be conducted either by the government or by the proposer. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences.
