AI Contract Overview

The US Army Natick Soldier Center plans to issue a sole source contract valued at $35,000 to TDA Research, Inc., based in Wheat Ridge, CO, for research and development aimed at enhancing the barrier properties of biodegradable polymer films used in military packaging. This project will focus on the preparation, modification, and integration of TDA’s proprietary nanoparticles into polyhydroxyl alkanoates (PHAs) nanocomposites, followed by physical testing to assess biodegradation and permeability characteristics. The contract is being awarded through a simplified acquisition process due to TDA Research’s unique capability and exclusive access to the specific nanoparticles required for this research. The procurement is justified on the basis that TDA is the only source capable of conducting this specialized work, and while the notice allows interested parties to express interest or submit proposals, it is not a competitive solicitation. The Government will consider any comments received within ten days of the announcement but retains sole discretion over whether the contract will be competed. Questions regarding the acquisition can be directed to Mr. David Mark at the Natick Soldier Center by the specified deadline. This contract aligns with the Department of Defense’s efforts to improve sustainable military packaging materials through advanced nanotechnology research.

Full Description

The US Army Natick Soldier Center (NSC) intends to award a Sole Source contract to TDA Research, Inc. of Wheat Ridge, CO, for research and development associated with improving the barrier properties of biodegradable polymers used as films for milita ry packaging. This research effort involves preparation, modification, and incorporation of TDAs unique, proprietary nanoparticles into polyhydroxyl alkanoates (PHAs) nanocomposites followed by physical testing of the PHA nanocomposites for biodegradatio n and permeability. This will be a simplified acquisition for an award of $35,000. The rationale for other than full and open competition is that TDA is the only source available to do this research with the specific nanoparticles being tested. Interest ed persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all comments received within ten days after date of publication of this syno psis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solel y for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Please refer to numbered note 25. The Purchase Request number for this acquisition is W91A2K-7101-9010. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 5417 10. Any inquiries about this announcement should be directed to Mr. David Mark via e-mail at contact@example.gov or by facsimile, +1 (555) 000-0000. Inquiries shall be made no later than 04:00 PM EST on 02 May 2007.
