About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Strategic Materials Contracting Directorate is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to gather sources for scandium metal and scandium oxide for potential addition to the National Defense Stockpile. The agency is specifically seeking information from potential contractors about their capabilities to supply approximately 100 kg of scandium metal and 2,000 kg of scandium oxide. Interested vendors must submit their responses in Microsoft Word or Office 2010 compatible format by May 14, 2025, at 12:00 P.M. EST via email to designated DLA contacts. The RFI requires comprehensive details including material sourcing, supply chain information, production capabilities, pricing, technical specifications, impurities, testing methods, delivery logistics, and storage conditions. Respondents must also provide administrative details such as business size classification, facility security clearance, and potential contract strategy.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this opportunity, meaning it is open to all business sizes and classifications. The proposed delivery period for the scandium materials spans from January 2027 to December 2032, suggesting a long-term strategic procurement plan. While no specific award value is mentioned, the procurement involves a significant quantity of specialized metal and oxide materials. The RFI is classified under NAICS Category 331410 for Nonferrous Metal Smelting and Refining and PSC Category 9630 for Additive Metal Materials. It is important to note that this is strictly an information-gathering exercise and does not constitute a commitment to procure the materials, allowing DLA to assess market capabilities and potential supply sources for these strategic materials.
