About this award
Ascend Performance Materials Texas Inc. was awarded a $87.7 million firm fixed-price definitive contract by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response on November 1, 2023, to support domestic industrial base expansion of key chemicals for acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR). The contract is scheduled for ultimate completion by September 26, 2026, with performance taking place in Houston, Texas. This award carries no set-aside designation and represents a strategic investment in domestic manufacturing capacity for critical materials.
The contract originated from a Commercial Solutions Opening solicitation posted in October 2021 that sought proposals to support the Department of Health and Human Services' Strategic National Stockpile goals and the Department of the Air Force Acquisition COVID-19 Task Force mission. The solicitation prioritized domestic manufacturing expansion and the replenishment of stockpile inventories in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. By awarding this contract to Ascend Performance Materials, the federal government is establishing or expanding domestic production capacity for NBR-related chemical inputs, a material with applications in protective equipment and other critical supplies, thereby strengthening supply chain resilience and reducing dependence on foreign sources for essential materials.
