About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Strategic Materials Contracting Directorate has issued a Request for Information seeking vendor capabilities for acquiring 4,000 metric tons of vanadium pentoxide for the National Defense Stockpile. The RFI requests comprehensive information from potential contractors across six key areas: general company data, material specifications, supply chain details, delivery capabilities, storage considerations, and market information. Vendors must demonstrate their ability to produce vanadium pentoxide meeting specific grades and specifications, with detailed information about their production processes, testing procedures, and supply chain capabilities. Potential delivery locations include Hammond Depot in Indiana, Hawthorne Depot in Nevada, and Scotia Depot in New York. The response deadline was initially September 7, 2025, but has been extended to September 17, 2025, at 11:59 PM EST, with submissions required via email to Dylan Stone at DLA with "RFI - Vanadium" in the subject line.
This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the substantial quantity of 4,000 metric tons of vanadium pentoxide for strategic stockpile purposes suggests this could represent a significant procurement opportunity. The RFI limits vendor responses to 20 pages and emphasizes that this is a planning-stage document rather than a formal solicitation, meaning responses will not create any government purchase obligations. The focus on aerospace and defense applications indicates the material will support critical national security requirements through the National Defense Stockpile program.
