Silver Reclamation, Storage, and Account Maintenance Services

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is soliciting bids for Silver Reclamation, Storage, and Account Maintenance Services through Solicitation Amendment N0025326Q00030001. This procurement involves secondary smelting, refining, and alloying of nonferrous metals, specifically focused on silver reclamation and related account maintenance operations. The solicitation requires contractors to demonstrate expertise in salvage operations and the handling of precious metals, with particular emphasis on reclamation efficiency and proper storage protocols. While the specific evaluation criteria are detailed in the full amendment documents available through the PIEE portal, contractors should anticipate assessment based on technical capability, past performance in similar operations, and compliance with Navy specifications. The proposal due date is November 18, 2025, providing potential bidders with a twelve-day window to prepare and submit their responses.

This is a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity, restricting competition to small business entities as defined by the Small Business Administration. The work will be performed in Keyport, Washington, where the Navy maintains significant naval shipbuilding and repair infrastructure. While the amendment notice does not disclose specific award values or incumbent contractor information in this summary, interested small businesses should review the complete solicitation documents on the PIEE website to obtain detailed information regarding contract value, performance period, and any existing contractor details. The narrow timeline between the posting date of November 6, 2025, and the November 18 due date underscores the importance of immediate action for qualified small business contractors seeking to compete for this opportunity.
