We'll email you when new PSC 9650 (Nonferrous Base Metal Refinery and Intermediate Forms) solicitations post on SAM.gov. The first email lists what is open right now (5), then at most once a week, only when something new posts. No account needed; unsubscribe in a click.

Supplying PSC 9650 items?

Solicitations for supplies carry the manufacturer's NAICS code, so a distributor's wholesale NAICS will not find them. Add 9650 as a supply class on a free FedSift profile and these notices are matched to you, with the NSN, quantity and approved sources shown first. Or search every open 96 supply buy by NSN.

On a small-business set-aside, a reseller can bid as a nonmanufacturer: 500 or fewer employees, normally sells the item, takes possession of it, and supplies a product made in the US by a small manufacturer unless SBA waived that (13 CFR 121.406(b)).
