DOE’s Office of Environmental Management is seeking expressions of interest for potential collaboration to reuse surplus critical and rare earth minerals/materials from its inventory, aiming to bolster and diversify the U.S. supply chain for domestic scientific, manufacturing, and energy needs. A supplied attachment lists the materials/minerals in DOE’s inventory, and industry partners would be responsible for subsequent extraction or reprocessing. This is an Expression of Interest only; it is not a funding opportunity, no NOFO exists, and DOE will not provide funding or compensation for submitted information. Responses will not be treated as binding commitments, and submitted materials will not be returned. A virtual Industry Day will be held on September 30, 2026; interested parties can email DOECriticalMinerals@doe.gov for questions and the attendance link.

The DOE Office of Environmental Management is seeking expressions of interest for potential collaboration to reuse surplus critical and rare earth minerals and materials in its inventory. The goal is to repurpose these materials to bolster and diversify the U.S. supply chain and support domestic scientific, manufacturing, and energy needs. A list of available materials and minerals is provided as an attachment, and industry partners would be responsible for extraction or reprocessing. This is an expression of interest only, not a funding opportunity, and DOE will not provide funding or compensation for responses. A virtual Industry Day will be held on September 30, 2026.

The DOE Office of Environmental Management is issuing an Expression of Interest seeking potential collaboration with interested parties to reuse surplus critical and rare earth minerals and materials from its inventory, aiming to bolster and diversify the U.S. supply chain for domestic scientific, manufacturing, and energy needs. A list of available materials and minerals is attached, and industry partners would be responsible for subsequent extraction or reprocessing. This is an EOI only and does not constitute a funding opportunity; DOE will not provide funding or compensation, is not seeking or accepting applications, and responses do not create a binding commitment. A virtual Industry Day will be held on September 30, 2026. Interested parties should contact Rob Seifert at robert.seifert@em.doe.gov for questions and the attendance link.

The DOE Office of Environmental Management seeks expressions of interest for potential collaboration to reuse surplus critical and rare earth minerals/materials from its inventory, aiming to strengthen and diversify the U.S. supply chain for domestic scientific, manufacturing, and energy needs. Industry partners would be responsible for extraction or reprocessing of the materials. This is an Expression of Interest only, not a Notice of Funding Opportunity, and no NOFO exists at this time; DOE will not provide funding or compensation, is not seeking applications, and responses are not binding commitments. A virtual Industry Day will be held on September 30, 2026, with questions and attendance details available by emailing Rob Seifert. Interested parties should submit responses electronically to robert.seifert@em.doe.gov as a Microsoft Word document of no more than five pages, using the specified formatting.

DOE’s Office of Environmental Management (EM) issued an Expression of Interest seeking input on potential collaboration to reuse surplus critical and rare earth minerals/materials from its inventory, with industry partners responsible for extraction or reprocessing, to strengthen and diversify the U.S. supply chain for domestic scientific, manufacturing, and energy needs. This is an EOI only, not a Notice of Funding Opportunity or application solicitation, and DOE will not provide funding or compensation; responses are nonbinding and will not be returned. A virtual Industry Day will be held on September 30, 2026, with questions and attendance information available by emailing Rob Seifert. DOE seeks details on respondents’ needs, technical capabilities, proposed material quantities and scalability, domestic applications/market demand, collaboration approaches, regulatory/logistical challenges, waste/byproduct management, and possible interest in leasing land or developing a processing facility. Proprietary business information should generally not be submitted, but if unavoidable, specific marked CUI//PROPIN and redacted UUI copies must be provided per DOE requirements.
