89th Dry Ice Delivery

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 89th Aerial Port Squadron at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, has issued a sources sought notice to gather information for a potential contract to supply 4,000 pounds of dry ice weekly in 50-pound blocks. This requirement supports critical air transportation operations, and interested contractors are invited to submit their capabilities, past performance, and business details by June 30, 2025. The notice emphasizes that responses are voluntary, with no obligation or compensation from the government, and highlights the importance of registration in SAM.gov for all participating entities. The government is still determining its acquisition strategy, including whether the procurement will be set aside for small businesses, which would require that at least 50% of the effort be performed by small business prime contractors. Respondents should include detailed information about their business size, experience, and teaming or subcontracting plans if applicable. The solicitation references NAICS code 325120 and provides contact information for further inquiries. This outreach aims to assess the market's capability to meet the specified dry ice supply needs while ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations.
