Small Business and Socioeconomic Participation (Market Research)

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the W6QK Acc-Apg Cont Ct Tyad Ofc office, is conducting market research to identify small businesses capable of supplying epoxy primer, with the goal of informing future contracting strategies. This initiative is not a solicitation for immediate procurement but seeks to assess the capacity and interest of small businesses in meeting potential requirements, potentially leading to set-asides or participation goals in upcoming contracts. Respondents are encouraged to demonstrate their ability to deliver epoxy primer in accordance with military specifications, with an emphasis on small business capability and readiness to support defense supply chains. The opportunity is open exclusively to small businesses and has a strict deadline for responses set for June 22, 2026, at 1:00 PM. The North American Industry Classification System code for this effort is 325510, which corresponds to organic chemical pigment and dye manufacturing. Performance, if a subsequent contract results from this research, would be centered in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, with a zip code of 18466. All interested parties must submit their information through the official SAM.gov portal before the deadline to ensure consideration for future procurement planning and socioeconomic inclusion initiatives.
