Samarium and Gadolinium RFI - WarstopperThe Defense Logistics Agency Warstopper Program is seeking input from industry to evaluate the potential establishment of a strategic buffer stockpile of Samarium and Gadolinium metals, critical materials used in defense-related applications such as high-performance magnets. This Request for Information is purely for planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation or obligation to purchase; respondents must bear all costs associated with submitting information, and no payment will be provided. The agency is particularly interested in technical specifications including purity levels, allowable impurity limits for oxygen, carbon, iron, and calcium, physical forms used in production, and current and projected annual demand over the next five years. Respondents are also asked to disclose lead times, minimum order quantities, internal inventory practices, waste management procedures, and the extent of material loss during manufacturing. Additionally, the DLA seeks details on end-products with surge requirements, compliance with DFARS restrictions on material sourcing, and the tier at which oxide-to-metal reduction and alloying occur in the supply chain. The Warstopper Program operates under the National Defense Authorization Act to maintain industrial readiness for mission-critical items with significant peacetime-to-wartime demand disparities and extended lead times. The information gathered through this RFI will inform future decisions on whether to procure and stockpile these rare-earth metals to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities. Submissions must be sent via email to Christine Boyer at Christine.boyer@dla.mil with “RFI – SmCo” in the subject line and are due by August 31, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST. No verbal responses will be accepted, and vendors must confirm receipt of their submissions. While responding to this RFI is voluntary and does not guarantee future contract opportunities, failure to participate may limit awareness of industry capabilities when a future solicitation is issued, which will be announced exclusively on SAM.gov. All proprietary data provided will be protected within the DLA Warstopper chain of command and not disclosed beyond authorized personnel.
