Solicitation # DOECriticalMineralResource2026
The Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management is seeking expressions of interest from potential collaborators to reuse, recover, and reprocess critical and rare earth minerals from its legacy inventories. The primary objective is to repurpose surplus materials to strengthen and diversify the domestic U.S. supply chain for scientific, manufacturing, and energy applications. This action is strictly an expression of interest and does not constitute a notice of funding opportunity; the DOE will not provide compensation for submitted information, and industry partners are responsible for all costs associated with the extraction or reprocessing of materials. Key resources identified for recovery include significant quantities of aluminum, copper, tungsten, silver, platinum, and selenium at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant site, as well as lead bricks and shot at the Nevada National Security Site. Some materials, specifically aluminum and copper, are noted as being surficially contaminated with uranium, and certain lithium hydride shields require DOT packaging exemptions for transport. Interested parties must submit electronic responses by November 2, 2026, detailing their technical capabilities, material requirements, and proposed collaboration models. Submissions must adhere to strict formatting guidelines, including a five-page limit, 12-point Times New Roman font, and specific marking requirements for proprietary business information to avoid disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
