# DLA Awards Elmet $36 Million Materials Contract

On September 30, 2026, the Defense Logistics Agency awarded Elmet Technologies an approximately **$36 million** contract to supply molybdenum and tungsten materials—including alloys, billets, bar stock, ingots, and precision wire—to the U.S. National Defense Stockpile. The award is separate from DLA’s September 14 tungsten-stockpile IDIQ, which has a **$2 billion ceiling** and a $150 million guaranteed funded commitment. Together, the actions signal demand for both upstream tungsten inputs and downstream finished refractory-metal products in the defense supply chain.

- Domestic critical-materials processors and suppliers can evaluate whether their capabilities align with stockpile replenishment needs for molybdenum and tungsten products.
- The separate IDIQ and Elmet award represent distinct opportunities in the supply chain: raw-material inputs under the IDIQ and finished materials under the Elmet contract.
- The supplied signals do not identify a contract number, delivery schedule, solicitation, or subcontracting opportunities; the listed Elmet email is for media inquiries, not procurement questions.
