Build a Contact List of U.S. Companies that Use Heavy Rare-Earth Oxides (Dy, Er, Tb, Ho, Yb, Lu)
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
Scope
We need market-research help to identify U.S.-based manufacturers that actively consume or incorporate the following heavy rare-earth oxides in their products or R&D:
• Dysprosium oxide (Dy₂O₃)
• Erbium oxide (Er₂O₃)
• Terbium oxide (Tb₄O₇ / Tb₂O₃)
• Holmium oxide (Ho₂O₃)
• Ytterbium oxide (Yb₂O₃)
• Lutetium oxide (Lu₂O₃)
Target end-use sectors (examples—not exhaustive):
1. Defense prime & tier-1 suppliers – missiles, guidance systems, sonar, actuators.
2. Electric-vehicle drive-train OEMs & tier-1 motor suppliers – Nd-Fe-B magnets with Dy/Tb for high-temp stability.
3. Wind-turbine and industrial-motor makers – similar magnet use.
4. Photonics/telecom – Er-doped fiber-amplifier or integrated-optics fabs.
5. Industrial & medical laser builders – Yb-fiber/disk, Ho:YAG, Lu:LYSO hosts.
6. Medical-imaging OEMs – PET/CT scintillators (Lu₂O₃-based LSO/LYSO).
7. Display & lighting phosphor producers – Tb green and Dy red/white phosphors.
8. Specialty glass/ceramics makers – Er/Dy/Tb colourants, optical calibration glass (Ho).
Deliverables
• A Google-Sheet or Excel file with ≥ 100 qualifying companies.
• Columns (minimum):
• Company name
• Sector/application (from list above)
• Which oxide(s) they use & why
• HQ city + state
• Website URL
• Primary contact name + title (materials sourcing, R&D, or procurement lead)
• Work email
• Direct phone (if public)
• LinkedIn profile URL of the contact
• Data source / evidence link (press release, product datasheet, SEC filing, etc.)
• File must be clean, deduped, and sortable.
What to include in your bid
1. How you’ll find and verify usage (e.g., product specs, patents, DoD supplier lists, IEEE papers, supply-chain databases).
2. A sample of 3–5 lines in the spreadsheet format above to prove you understand the task.
3. Turn-around time (target ≤ 7 days) and total fixed price (USD).
Nice-to-have skills
• Prior work with rare-earth supply chains or defense/EV sourcing.
• LinkedIn Sales Navigator or similar tooling.
• Awareness of ITAR/EAR compliance (no export-controlled info required—just public or company-provided data).
