Ok, so something not necessarily tied to the present time?
Something like: “The ancient Egyptians used copper chisels, as that was the best metal available at the time.” In that sense, you could say that those two things were indeed contemporaneous, because they occurred at the same time with one another.
I honestly get the sense that “as was then the case” might be the phrase without a word if its not contemporaneous
Thank you tho

Maybe one of those, contemporaneously seems to encapsulate “best metal as/per what was currently/then available”
