Manufacture of QAC Sanitizing Test Strips

The contract calls for the manufacture of impregnated paper test strips designed to detect quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) sanitizer concentrations in rinse solutions within the 50 to 400 ppm range, with strict requirements for functional accuracy and extended shelf-life to ensure reliability in medical and food service environments. The strips must consistently deliver precise readings under real-world conditions, supporting compliance with sanitation standards in critical settings where contamination control is essential. Production must adhere to quality benchmarks that guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and stability over time, even under variable storage conditions. This subcontract opportunity is posted under the NAICS code 325412, indicating chemical manufacturing, and is linked to the Department of Defense’s Medical Supply Chain division operating out of Tinker Air Force Base with a zip code of 73145. Responses are due by August 5, 2026, following a posting date of July 30, 2026, and the solicitation is identified by the reference number SPE2DS26T292X. The project requires capable manufacturers with expertise in chemical-impregnated paper systems, experience in regulated industries, and the capacity to meet rigorous performance and durability specifications without deviation.
