ICON Supports the American Warfighter

Posted By: Matt Gilmore

As we head towards Memorial Day next Monday, a day dedicated to honoring American soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, we also think about what we can do to protect and arm our current troops around the globe. The defense supply chain is strained as the Department of Defense continues to source critical parts for existing weapons platforms and upcoming ones. The DoD is looking for high-quality, American-based suppliers to engineer, develop and make these parts for our warfighters.

NFFS offers a platform to connect your business to these opportunities through ICON. ICON is a free portal directly linking the metalcasting industry to opportunities posted by the Department of Defense to make critical parts for the US military - Integrated Casting Order Network (ICON) - Non-Ferrous Founders' Society.

ICON Features:

  • Business Development Opportunities – search for opportunities that fit your business’s capabilities and strengths
  • Supplier Capabilities Database - see and be seen by potential customers and partners
  • Promote Existing Tooling and Inventory – upload your tooling and inventory to be seen by potential partners or buyers


ICON provides users the opportunity to grow their businesses and support the American warfighter.
