Benchmark Mineral Intelligence LIMITED

Benchmark Mineral Intelligence LIMITED, a London-based for-profit organization, sells proprietary mineral market intelligence and subscription-based data analysis services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, with no subcontractor footprint and no use of set-aside categories across its recent federal award history.

The vendor delivers concrete capability in facility-level critical minerals data, lithium-ion battery supply-chain forecasting, rare earth element analysis, and mineral recycling intelligence. Representative recent work includes a $1.57 million firm fixed price purchase order from the Office of Specialized Security Activities (September 2026) for subscription products covering critical minerals data and battery supply chains; a $674 thousand definitive contract from the Department of Energy's Office of the Secretary (August 2022) for subscription products across lithium-ion batteries, rare earth elements, and mineral recycling; a $281 thousand purchase order from the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (August 2025) for three critical minerals data platform subscription licenses; and a $214 thousand purchase order from USGS's Office of Acquisitions and Grants (September 2025) for facility-level cobalt, lithium, nickel, and graphite production data with online report access and analyst consultation. Benchmark also holds a $7.5 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the International Development Finance Corporation (December 2023, through December 2028) for direct equity consulting services supporting the agency's mission to mobilize private capital in less developed countries.

Customer concentration spans energy and interior agencies. The top five customers by potential value account for 94% of combined potential value and include the International Development Finance Corporation (one award, $7.5 million), the Department of Energy's Office of Specialized Security Activities ($1.6 million), the Department of Energy's Office of the Secretary ($674 thousand), USGS's Office of Acquisitions and Grants (six awards, $493 thousand), and the Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy ($281 thousand). By award count, USGS dominates at six awards, but the two rankings diverge sharply — the IDC with OEIF anchors 67% of total potential value, while USGS orders smaller subscription-renewal quantities. The Department of State's Bureau of Energy Resources and the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration each placed two awards.

Activity has remained modest and flat. Two awards in 2022, five in 2023, five in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026 (most recent September 28, 2026). Four awards (combined potential value $2.3 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete exposure. The source classifies Benchmark's work across multiple NAICS categories, with Other Management Consulting Services and Periodical Publishers carrying six and four awards respectively, and PSC coding split between Newspapers and Periodicals (seven awards) and Support–Professional and IT/Software categories (five awards combined). Most federal work is categorized as periodical or subscription-based rather than pure services delivery.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue was sparse: $95 thousand in FY2023 and $674 thousand in FY2025 across 3.0 contract-level FTEs, with zero reported in FY2022 and FY2024. The hourly rate derived from SCI invoiced hours ran at $94,689.72 per hour (10th, median, and 90th percentiles all equal), reflecting a small sample and likely a single contract reporting. Benchmark performed zero subcontract hours on SCI-reportable prime contracts — all work was direct delivery. Combined potential value across all 17 awards stands at $11.2 million, with $2.2 million obligated (19% of potential value), indicating a significant portion of subscription ceilings remain unexercised.
