SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM) publishes the following questions regarding potential collaboration with interested parties for the reuse of its critical and rare earth minerals and materials.

This will support domestic scientific, manufacturing, and energy needs. A list of materials and minerals in DOE’s inventory is supplied as an attachment. Respondents should note that industry partners would be responsible for the subsequent extraction or reprocessing of the material.

DATES: Responses to the EOI must be received no later than November 2, 2026. A virtual Industry Day will be held on September 30, 2026. For questions and a link to attend, please email [email protected].
