RFI to conduct market research to identify potential vendors with products available that meet the capability criteria listed
Solicitation # 27-SIMACQ-CD-61-0006
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division is issuing this Request for Information under solicitation number 27-SIMACQ-CD-61-0006 to conduct market research for foaming Corrosion Preventive Compound (CPC) barriers. These barriers are intended to protect inaccessible interior parts of ground vehicles and tactical assets, such as frame rails and enclosed cavities, in very high corrosivity environments. The government is seeking potential vendors capable of providing a non-permanent coating that can cover void spaces up to 4 inches in diameter and 2 feet in length, cure to a non-tacky film, and provide corrosion prevention for at least one year. The product must be removable via high-pressure steam or solvent-based cleaners and maintain a shelf life of at least two years. This is a sources-sought notice for planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or a promise to issue a Request for Proposal. However, the anticipated future procurement is expected to be a firm fixed price contract, with a Request for Quote likely to be issued around January 2027. Interested respondents from all business sizes, including small and disadvantaged businesses, must submit a written Capability Statement by November 23, 2026. Submissions must include the vendor's CAGE code, business size status, and technical documentation such as Safety Data Sheets and Technical Data Sheets to verify the product's ability to meet the specified foaming and durability requirements.
