# Army Awards IperionX Titanium Task Order

IperionX reported that the U.S. Army issued Task Order 2 under the company’s existing $99 million SBIR Phase III IDIQ contract during the September 2026 quarter. The task order is valued at **$18.5 million**, with **$11.5 million initially funded** and potential value of **$25.4 million** including options. IperionX also reported 8.7 tons of titanium powder output and validated manufacturing capacity. This is an order under an existing contract, not a new open solicitation; the IDIQ has $79.2 million remaining after the first two task orders, creating potential for further task-order activity without guaranteeing future awards.

- The Army’s action signals continued demand for domestically produced titanium for defense applications. Contractors and suppliers with relevant materials, manufacturing, or processing capabilities can assess potential roles in the defense supply chain.
- The remaining IDIQ ceiling may support additional Army task orders. Businesses interested in this work should distinguish these possible follow-on requirements from an open competition, which the signals do not report.
- IperionX’s reported production and capacity validation provide procurement stakeholders with a relevant indicator of the supplier’s manufacturing readiness as they evaluate domestic titanium supply options.
