About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is soliciting proposals for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to procure vacuum-grade ferroniobium for the National Defense Stockpile. This combined synopsis/solicitation, issued as Request for Proposal SP8000-26-R-0001, seeks commercial items under FAR Parts 12 and 15, with proposals due by November 13, 2025. The contract requires that all ferroniobium be delivered in forms and packaging suitable for long-term storage in accordance with the Statement of Work, and offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Evaluation will be conducted using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures, with assessment based on technical approach (including material description, certificates of analysis, packaging, labeling, sampling, and testing procedures) and past performance. This is the second solicitation for this requirement, as the original solicitation (SP8000-25-R-0010) was canceled due to changes in the Statement of Work.
The contract carries no set-aside designations and is unrestricted to all qualified vendors. The contract value ranges from a minimum of $3,000,000 to a maximum of $160,000,000 over a five-year period, with the government retaining the right to award less than the maximum amount. The procurement will require delivery of approximately 1,709,560.63 pounds of vacuum-grade ferroniobium, with individual delivery orders containing a 24-month delivery period and utilizing fixed pricing for the initial delivery order and negotiated pricing for subsequent orders based on Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) terms. The applicable small business size standard is 1,500 employees under NAICS code 331110 (Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing). The place of performance is Columbus, Ohio, with materials to be delivered to the DLA Strategic Materials Scotia Depot in New York.
