Full Description

Question received: In regard to RFI SP8000La2O3 for 4,092 MT lanthanum oxide, in order to calculate logistic costs do you know which government depot the lanthanum oxide would be stored? We only need the shipping cost from the country of origin to the domestic port or domestic vendor warehouse." The reason for this is that we do not know now what site it will be at and figuring out the cost of shipping once it is in the US is easy.
