Added: Aug 23, 2016 10:47 am DLA Strategic Materials is seeking offers from companies that are able to provide aerospace vacuum induction melt (VIM) material quality recycling services for end-of-life nickel, cobalt and titanium based turbine engine components. 

This is a program to reclaim strategic and precious metals from excess Government owned turbine engine components.  The end product of recycling shall be:
1. Clean, segregated Vacuum Induction Melt (VIM) quality scrap materials;
2. Precious metal bearing offtake from the process, and;
3. Non-VIM Quality Scrap

The Technical Requirements Section (described in the Performance Work Statement document) describes minimal technical requirements.

The following is a high level operational outline:
1. DLA Strategic Materials ships a tractor trailer of turbine engine parts to the Contractor.
2. The Contractor sorts the parts by general alloy type and sends DLA-SM a sorting report.
3. The Contractor performs Demilitarization (DEMIL) and recycling of the parts in such as a way that material can be used for future aerospace vacuum induction melt processing. Precious metals are also recovered during the process.
4. The Contractor ships material back to DLA (or the Precious Metals Program) along with a report describing work performed and DEMIL Certifications for all components sent to the Contractor.

The Government will issue a task orders for each batch; the Contractor must fully process a batch before the Government will issue a new task order for another batch.  The cumulative weight of batches for this contract can be anticipated to be between 0 and 288,000 pounds (lbs.).  Each batch of Government Furnished Material (shipment) will weigh between 5,000 and 50,000 pounds.  The contractor will sort the parts by general alloy type, perform Demilitarization (DEMIL) and recycling of the parts in such a way that material can be used for future aerospace VIM processing.  Precious metals will also be recovered during the process and will be shipped back to the Precious Metals Program Point of Contact/Location.

Interested Offerors shall submit their proposal by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, September 22, 2016.

Proposals must be submitted via email to SMContracting@dla.mil; Attention: DLA Strategic Materials, Yazmin Mendoza, with the Solicitation Number SP8000-16-R-0010 by the above stated date and time.

Your proposal must address all the required information contained in the posted documents and their attachments; it must also be in the requested format as described in Paragraph 6 of the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation document. Offerors are strongly encouraged to confirm receipt of their proposals after submission. Proposals submitted via facsimile or U.S. mail will not be accepted.
