Aggregate Supply for Material Verification

The contract involves the supply of two 5-gallon sealed buckets of representative aggregates used in concrete mixtures for independent material verification by the Engineer Research and Development Center. These aggregates are critical for ensuring material consistency and performance in construction applications under Department of Defense standards. The requirement is issued as a subcontract under a HUBZone Set Aside, targeting small businesses located in historically underutilized business zones to promote economic development in distressed areas. The North American Industry Classification System code 324121 indicates the scope relates to asphalt paving mixtures and blocks, aligning with aggregate processing for infrastructure use. All submissions must be received by May 15, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. EDT, with performance expected to support testing activities at Fort Polk, Louisiana. The work is part of a broader effort by the W2R2 USA Engineering R&D Center to validate material integrity and support engineering research initiatives. The sealed nature of the buckets ensures sample integrity, and the quantities are specifically calibrated for reliable laboratory analysis without over-supply. The procurement is exclusively available to qualified HUBZone-certified vendors, and no additional point of contact is listed, suggesting all inquiries must be directed through the official SAM.gov portal.
