AI Contract Overview

Show more

The US Army Natick Soldier Center plans to award a sole source contract modification to Kansas State University for further research and development on soy-based adhesives intended for military packaging applications. This continuation project builds on prior work conducted by KSU and aims to refine the reproducibility, processing conditions, and quality of the soy adhesives by examining critical factors such as pH, temperature, stirring speed, reaction time, composition, and other relevant parameters. The contract will leverage KSU’s technical expertise to optimize these adhesives, ensuring their effectiveness and reliability under various conditions. The decision to forego full and open competition is justified because KSU’s prior efforts provide a unique foundation for this work, making them the most suitable entity to achieve the contract’s objectives. While this is not a solicitation for competitive proposals, the government invites interested parties to express their interest or provide comments within five days of the announcement to inform the decision on whether competition is necessary. The contract is associated with NAICS code 611310, and inquiries must be directed to the designated government representative by the specified deadline in early April 2007. This acquisition supports ongoing efforts by the Department of Defense, conducted through the Natick facility in Massachusetts.

The US Army Natick Soldier Center (NSC) intends to award a Sole Source contract to Kansas State University (KSU) of Manhattan, KS, for research and development associated with production of soy adhesives for military packaging. This research effort is a modification to an existing contract that will focus on the reproducibility, processing conditions, and quality of soy adhesives under a variety of parameters, including pH, temperature, stirring speed, reaction time, composition, and other factors. The rationale for other than full and open competition is that this research is a logical follow-on to previous efforts performed by KSU that can best achieve successful results by continued utilization of the KSU technical resources. Interested 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 five days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government.
