About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency's Research and Development Enterprise Service Activity (J68) is seeking information from contractors to develop a Reclamation, Recovery, and Resupply (R3) Lookup Tool that will enable users to search for critical, strategic, or rare raw materials across DLA's inventory systems. The tool must provide comprehensive information for each item containing the searched material, including National Stock Number (NSN), item images, descriptions, technical data packages, part numbers, and the percentage composition of raw materials within each item. The solution must integrate with DLA's existing Warehouse Management System and Federal Logistics Information System while leveraging AI tools for enhanced search capabilities and complying with DoD cybersecurity policies. The primary objective is to enhance supply chain resilience, support circular economy resource recovery, and reduce dependencies on adversarial supply sources through improved visibility into raw material inventories. Vendors must submit white papers by August 15, 2025, following the Research & Development Enterprise Service Activity's Emergent IV Research and Development Broad Agency Announcement guidelines. The tool must also include items containing the raw materials even if they lack an assigned NSN.
This pre-solicitation notice does not specify any set-aside designations, indicating it is open to all qualified contractors without restrictions for small businesses or other designated groups. No information is provided regarding potential incumbents, current contractors, or existing solutions that may be in place for similar lookup capabilities. The notice does not include specific award values, budget ranges, or contract ceiling amounts, which is typical for Request for Information solicitations that are primarily focused on market research and capability assessment. The timeline indicates a 30-day response period from the July 15, 2025 posting date to the August 15, 2025 submission deadline for white papers. No specific quantities of goods are mentioned since this is a software development and integration project focused on creating a single comprehensive lookup tool system. The project falls under NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, reflecting its technical and analytical nature.
Notice text
The DLA is in support of R&D seeking information from the community on how an interested contractor will provide a lookup tool that allows users to input critical, strategic, or rare raw material and retrieve a list of items containing that material. Each item in the list shall display the National Stock Number (NSN), an image of the item, a description of the item, the technical data package, the Part Number (PN) containing the raw material, and the percent makeup of the raw material in the item. Items that contain the raw material but do not have an NSN shall also be included in the list retrieved from the search.
