Biodegradable Insect Repellent Formulation and Manufacturing

The contract calls for the manufacture of 30 units of a non-DEET, 100% biodegradable insect repellent spray featuring a citrus scent, packaged in 2 oz containers, with strict adherence to environmental and hazardous materials regulations. The product must meet all applicable safety and sustainability standards, ensuring it is safe for use and disposal without compromising ecological integrity. Manufacturing specifications require full compliance with regulatory frameworks governing chemical formulation, packaging, and labeling to qualify as non-toxic and environmentally responsible. This is a subcontract under the NAICS code 325620, issued by the Department of Defense through the Medical Supply Chain Pharm FSA, with performance required at Fort Campbell, ZIP 42223-5349. The solicitation was posted on July 28, 2026, and responses are due by August 3, 2026, limiting the window for proposals to a brief six-day period. The absence of a solicitation number or point of contact suggests the procurement may be handled internally or through a streamlined process, and bidders must ensure all technical and regulatory requirements are fulfilled without additional clarification avenues. The emphasis on biodegradability and non-DEET formulation aligns with DoD’s broader initiatives to adopt greener, soldier-friendly field products.
