🇺🇸 465 Mining & Resources Contracts in the United States

Mining and natural resources procurement through SAM.gov supports agencies including the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), US Geological Survey (USGS), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Department of Energy, and Environmental Protection Agency. Contract values range from $10,000 for geological surveys to $500 million for uranium enrichment and strategic mineral reserve management programs. Federal mining-related contracts cover geological mapping, mineral resource assessment, mine safety inspection support, environmental remediation of abandoned mines, and critical mineral supply chain analysis. The Department of Energy manages the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and uranium enrichment programs, while USGS conducts mineral resource assessments. Suppliers need relevant professional credentials (PG, PE), specialized field equipment, and often security clearances for work at DOE facilities. The Defense Production Act and critical minerals executive orders have accelerated federal procurement for domestic mineral supply chain development, particularly for rare earth elements, lithium, cobalt, and other materials essential to defense and clean energy. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds abandoned mine reclamation, creating additional contract volume. Companies with expertise in critical mineral processing, geophysical surveying, and environmental compliance at mining sites find strong and growing federal demand.
