The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking proposals for the development of a domestic capability to produce coal tar pitch that meets military specifications, addressing the current reliance on foreign sources. The objective is to qualify domestically manufactured coal tar pitch for various military applications, including tactical munitions and hypersonic vehicles, while enhancing supply chain resiliency and reducing costs. This initiative is critical for ensuring a reliable supply of materials essential for national defense. Interested parties must submit their proposals by February 21, 2024, with a funding limit of $1,750,000 for Phase II, which will last up to 24 months.
