REEs have grown in importance over the years because of their applications in electronics (smart phone, high definition display), rechargeable batteries, renewable/green energy, and defense industry. The United States consumes around 16 thousand tons of REEs annually. However, China produced roughly 97 percent of the world’s supply of REEs, and will likely continue to dominate the global supply. ...

Chromium is used in the hottest part of a jet engine as an alloying element is superalloys. None metallic impurities generally cause performance degradation and they have to be controlled. The existing chromiums used in supperalloys have C+S+O+ N+H>900 ppm according to specification. We are proposing to develop methods of refining that produce C+S+O+ N+H1400 C. Another method is using hydrogen at ...

High-purity germanium (Ge) is manufactured into infrared (IR) lenses for most DoD night sight IR optics, thermal imaging systems, and IR tracking systems in combat vehicles. A recent report by Umicore (ADA’s partner for this proposed project) identifies several current and future needs for Ge, showing growing needs in the middle of severe shortfall. These applications are essential for tracking ...

DeVal Lifecycle Support is proposing to improve product availability and increase competition through the development of a Source Approval Requests (SAR) for NSN 4730-01-255-5316 with government provided technical data through our Reverse Engineering (RE) Process. Upon contract award, if DLA has adequate technical data available, DeVal Lifecycle Support will utilize the technical data to develop a ...

The Defense Logistics Agency aims to improve product availability and increase competition on a multitude of NSN items for the Nuclear Enterprise Support Office by introducing capable, small business suppliers through the Source Approval Request (SAR) process. Addition of approved sources for these critical/weapon system items can lead to reduced cost and decreased lead times. Expediting the procu ...

Increased competition and improved lead times are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to facilitate NESO in supporting the needs of the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy nuclear communities. Mainstream Engineering has carefully reviewed the technical data package for NSN 4810-01-269-4808 provided in the solicitation and is confident that we possess the manufacturing capability, quality manage ...

Current methods for food transportation and storage are insufficient in eliminating contamination threats from food-borne pathogens, resulting in frequent cases of foodborne illness or costly recalls. Perishable products within the DLAs subsistence supply chain are no exception to this problem. AAPlasma LLC proposes a non-equilibrium (cold) plasma-based solution that will continuously disinfect co ...

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking to automate parts of their procurement, logistics, and distribution processes by applying Augmented Reality (AR) solutions to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Vecna Robotics' world-leading automation consulting team is well-positioned to leverage a deep and broad understanding of advanced technology and its application to warehouse operations. Vec ...

Increased competition and improved lead times are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for the MILSTAR system battery assembly. Mainstream Engineerings unique integration of engineering, manufacturing, quality control, and integrated logistics support (ILS) provides the government with the best value for the proposed NSN.The MILSTAR nickel-metal hydride battery pack lacks sufficient comme ...
