This is an amendment to a solicitation seeking proposals to expand the domestic industrial base for man-made fibers used in personal protective equipment. The amendment modifies Solicitation Number 75A50223R00003 issued by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response.

The solicitation seeks proposals for projects that will establish or expand domestic production capabilities for specific man-made fiber types including polypropylene, polyester, and nylon.

Proposals are due by September 22, 2023, and awards will be made on a rolling basis through January 2024 to allow for rapid expansion of domestic fiber production capabilities critical to PPE supply chains.
