Supply of Waterless Cleansing Towels

The contract entails the manufacture and delivery of 61,584 waterless cleansing towels that must meet the NFES 000712 specification to support incident caches for the USDA Forest Service. The requirement is set aside exclusively for small businesses under the SBA Total Small Business Set-Aside provision, ensuring only qualified small business concerns may bid. The NAICS code 325620 identifies the industry as soap and cleaning compound manufacturing, indicating the nature of the product fabrication. The solicitation was posted on July 9, 2026, with responses due by July 17, 2026, at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, allowing vendors a limited window to prepare and submit proposals. The place of performance and point of contact information are not specified, but the contracting organization operates under the Incident Procurement Logistics unit of the Department of Agriculture. The award will be made under a subcontract structure, meaning the selected vendor will fulfill obligations directly related to incident response logistics rather than through a prime contractual relationship with the agency.
