The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) by and through the DCSO-C3 intends to award a contract for up to 174 metric tons (MT) of Titanium as Ti CP-02 and Ti 6-6-2. The Government reserves the right to award for less than the maximum quantity.

The serial number is in English, able to be read to unaided eye and able to withstand the elements for a minimum of twenty years.

This procurement will additionally require sampling of the Titanium to be performed by an independent sampling subcontractor and testing of the Titanium.  Any eventual contract award will require the Contractor to deliver the material to Hawthorne, Nevada.

The estimated dollar value of the acquisition is $5,000,000.00. The period of performance will be 24 months from the time of award.
