Supplier of Specialized Materials (Ozone-Depleting Chemical-Free Components)

The contract seeks suppliers of specialized materials that meet strict environmental compliance standards by entirely excluding Class I ozone-depleting chemicals in all raw materials or subcomponents supplied. This requirement aligns with federal environmental regulations and ensures that all delivered goods contribute to sustainable manufacturing practices under the Department of Defense’s sustainability mandates. The solicitation is structured as a subcontract and is exclusively available to small businesses under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, as defined by the SBA and FAR 19.5, meaning only qualifying small businesses may submit proposals. The North American Industry Classification System code 325998 identifies the relevant sector for chemical manufacturing not elsewhere classified, emphasizing the specialized nature of the materials required. Responses must be submitted by August 14, 2026, with the opportunity posted on July 30, 2026, through the DIBBS portal for defense-related procurement. Performance of the contract is expected to support LSO Combat Vehicles and Armament, with no specific location designated for delivery, leaving the place of performance flexible as long as compliance is maintained.
