The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Keyport is soliciting quotes for Silver Reutilization and Account Maintenance Services to refine silver-bearing material recovered from batteries. The primary objective is to process silver from Silver/Zinc and Silver/Chloride batteries to achieve 99.9% purity for use in manufacturing new batteries. Annual requirements include the reutilization of 380,000 troy ounces of high silver content material (greater than 80% silver) and 725,000 troy ounces of low silver content material (80% or less), alongside the maintenance of a 500,000 troy ounce silver account. The government will disassemble the batteries and separate materials into high and low yield categories prior to shipment, though small batteries are excluded from this process. The government intends to award one Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a five-year ordering period from January 20, 2027, to January 19, 2032. The contract will utilize a combination of Firm-Fixed-Price and Fixed-Price with Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) based on the London Bullion Market Association silver price index. Award will be based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedure, evaluating technical approach and past performance for acceptability. Key deliverables include materials processed reports, account balance reports submitted within three days of transactions, and quarterly progress reports. Performance will be monitored via a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan, requiring a refined silver return rate between 75% and 90% of the received net weight.
