HVF Precious Metals LLC

HVF Precious Metals LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, provides secure destruction and sanitization of classified and sensitive information technology equipment to the U.S. Air Force as a prime contractor on purchase-order vehicles (79% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. The company is a limited liability corporation and a child entity of parent HVF West LLC, both based in Tucson. HVF Precious Metals operates primarily under NAICS 334111 (Nonferrous Metal Smelting and Refining) and PSC H219 (Salvage—Preparation and Disposal of Excess/Surplus Property), reflecting its core business in incineration, smelting, and certified destruction of classified IT materials, hard drives, computers, and monitors associated with Special Access Programs and nuclear weapons centers.

The Air Force dominates HVF Precious Metals' customer footprint, accounting for 86% of recent awards. Air Combat Command and Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (Air Force Research Laboratory) lead by dollar volume: Air Combat Command holds four awards worth $105 thousand combined, while Air Force Research Laboratory anchors a single $112.5 thousand purchase order running through May 30, 2028, for Special Access Program IT equipment destruction by incineration or smelting. Air Force Materiel Command, Air Education and Training Command, and Pacific Air Forces round out the Air Force's footprint. Recent representative contracts include a $29.3 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from Air Force for destruction of IT equipment (April 2026), a $29.3 thousand SAP equipment sanitization and incineration order from Air Force (September 2024), and an $8 thousand incineration and sanitization order from Air Education and Training Command for classified IT materials (March 2024).

Activity is flat to modest: three awards annually in 2022 and 2023, growing to five in 2024 and two in 2025, with one award to date in 2026. Combined potential value across all recent awards is $328 thousand; actual obligated dollars total $359 thousand, exceeding the potential ceiling by 10 percent. The Air Force Research Laboratory award carries a recompete horizon inside the next twenty-four months with $113 thousand in potential value. HVF Precious Metals subcontracts under Lockheed Martin on F-16 networked simulators maintenance and engineering change services at Luke Air Force Base (two sub-awards in 2024–2025) and under Raytheon on F/A-18 and EA-18G sensor system support (one sub-award in September 2024). Two prime awards sit on Alliant II and one on an indefinite delivery vehicle (N6893619D0001). The company competes in full-and-open posture on most awards, though one Air Combat Command purchase order and one unspecified award carry Total Small Business set-aside designations.

HVF Precious Metals is situated on 5 acres of land adjacent to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.
