About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Strategic Materials is soliciting a firm-fixed price contract for up to 2,617 metric tons of ultra-fine grain synthetic Iso-statically Molded Synthetic Graphite for the National Defense Stockpile. The solicitation (SP800025R0003) seeks a single contract with a three-year delivery period, targeting highly specific, complex material with limited resource availability. The procurement will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection methodology, evaluating proposals based on Technical Acceptability, Past Performance, Delivery, and Price. Potential vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with NAICS code 335991 and a size standard of 900 employees. Key dates include a March 20th, 2025 deadline for submitting questions, with responses to be posted publicly, and a proposal submission deadline of April 18th, 2025 at 3:00 PM EDT.
The solicitation is being conducted as a full and open competition with no specific set-aside designation, and DLA reserves the right to award a contract for less than the maximum 2,617 metric tons based on received proposal pricing. The material will be stored long-term at the DLA Strategic Materials Hammond Depot in Indiana, with strict requirements for packaging, labeling, testing, and documentation. Vendors must provide Certificates of Analysis, collect samples according to specified protocols, and adhere to comprehensive performance requirements outlined in the solicitation documents. The contract demands 100% compliance across 27 specific performance tasks, with surveillance methods including documentation review and on-site inspections. Specific technical specifications include requirements for bulk density, particle/grain size, thermal conductivity, and other critical material characteristics, with the government seeking a vendor capable of meeting these exacting standards for strategic material storage.
