The ICON Portal
The ICON Portal is a secure, web-based platform developed with the Defense Logistics Agency to strengthen the U.S. defense supply chain by connecting qualified metal manufacturers with critical casting, forging, and machining opportunities.
ICON is built around two core ideas: Find and Be Found.
Suppliers use ICON to find active DOD solicitations, access automated bid matching aligned to their specific capabilities, and tap into the nation's largest database of foundry and forging tooling. Buyers and prime contracts use ICON to be connected with a qualified, diverse supplier base faster and with greater confidence.
Whether you are pursuing government contracts directly, supporting prime contractors as a sub-tier supplier, or simply looking to grow your commercial visibility, ICON helps you participate in the supply chain on your terms.
ICON is the recipient of the Defense Manufacturing Technology Achievement Award and is available as a benefit to FIA members. Learn more at iconportal.com.
