About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Strategic Materials is issuing a sole source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for tantalum ingots, a critical material needed for Department of Defense applications including microelectronics and research and development. The procurement seeks up to 535,440.23 pounds of tantalum ingots over a five-year ordering period, with the material required to meet ASTM B364-18 Type R05200 standards and be delivered in a shelf-stable form that can be readily transformed for defense systems use. Offerors must submit technical descriptions, Certificates of Analysis, pricing information, and complete representations and certifications, with third-party testing required for each lot of tantalum ingots. The solicitation was released on August 1, 2025, with proposals due by August 15, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST. Two amendments have been issued to address vendor questions and correct ingot dimensional specifications, with the final dimensions established as 12 inches in diameter by approximately 28 inches in length to accommodate pallet requirements.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is structured as an unrestricted but sole source acquisition, indicating that only one qualified supplier has been identified through market research. The contract value ranges from a minimum guarantee of $5,000 to a maximum potential value of $100,000,000 over the five-year period, with estimated yearly quantities ranging from 41,753.65 to 138,532.93 pounds using Firm Fixed Price delivery orders. The ingots will be delivered to the DLA Strategic Materials Scotia Depot in New York for addition to the National Defense Stockpile, though the place of performance is listed as Columbus, Ohio. The procurement falls under NAICS code 331410 for Nonferrous Metal Smelting and Refining with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The justification for sole source procurement is based on unique sourcing requirements and limited domestic production capabilities for tantalum ingots meeting DoD specifications.
