About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Strategic Materials is seeking contractors to provide bulk commodity sampling and testing services for materials in the National Defense Stockpile. The procurement will involve chemical and physical property verification, analytical laboratory services, and specialty materials analyses at government depots located in Scotia, NY; Hammond, IN; Hawthorne, NV; and Point Pleasant, WV. Contractors must possess multiple professional certifications, including ISO 17025, A2LA accreditation, NADCAP accreditation, ASME-NQA-1 compliance, ANAB certification, and ITAR compliance. The Sources Sought notice requires potential vendors to demonstrate capability to meet Performance Work Statement requirements and provide sample Certificates of Analysis. Responses to this pre-solicitation notice are due by January 29, 2025, at 9:00 AM EST, and will be evaluated based on technical capabilities, compliance with sampling and testing protocols, and ability to handle specialized materials.
The contract will be an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) with a 12-month base period and two 12-month option periods. The anticipated contract value ranges from a minimum of $10,000 to a maximum of $9,600,000, covering sampling and testing of critical materials including germanium, silicon, scandium, cobalt, manganese, magnesium, nickel, lithium, graphite, rare earths/lanthanides, fluorspar, tantalum, titanium, magnet blocks, and grain oriented electrical steel. There are no specific set-aside designations for this opportunity, which falls under NAICS code 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and PSC code B529 (Scientific Data Studies). The sampling and oversight costs will be time and materials based, while analytical testing will be priced on a firm fixed-price per test basis. Materials may require specialized storage conditions, including climate control, sealed containment, or compartmentalized areas depending on safety considerations.
