About this opportunity
Army Contracting Command–Aberdeen Proving Ground, Tobyhanna Division, issued a Notice of Intent to Award a sole-source contract to Vulcan Elements Inc. for Neodymium Iron Boron rare earth magnets by May 9, 2026, but subsequent market research has converted this to a competitive procurement. The magnets support the Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems program at Tobyhanna Army Depot. The government justified the initial sole-source intent under FAR 6.103-1(b) based on Vulcan Elements being the only source able to provide fully compliant domestic NdFeB magnets meeting stringent technical specifications and mandatory "mine-to-magnet" domestic sourcing requirements, with 100 percent manufacturing and processing within the United States. Interested firms may submit a statement of capabilities by email to kristen.zigmont.civ@army.mil by 10:00 AM EST on May 9, 2026. The government will use capability statements to determine whether to conduct competitive procurement in the future. No contract value, pricing, or award date is specified. NAICS 332999; PSC 5999.
