About this file
This document is a technical specifications and packaging requirements attachment for a Zirconium Hydride procurement solicitation issued by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Rock Island Arsenal. The solicitation (W519TC-25-Q-ZHYD) seeks 2,216 pounds of Zirconium Hydride, with an initial 10-pound first article testing requirement, to be delivered to Crane Army Ammunition Activity. The material must meet specific chemical and physical specifications outlined in MIL-Z-21353, including a minimum of 95.5% Zirconium+Hafnium content, 1.85-2.10% hydrogen, and an average particle diameter less than 10 microns.
Packaging requirements are stringent, mandating no more than 20 pounds per tin-plated steel container with specific gauge thickness, secondary sealing, and waterproof polyethylene bag packaging. Delivery is scheduled with first article testing due 3 weeks after receipt of order and full lot delivery within 2 weeks after first article testing. The procurement will be awarded on a low-price, firm-fixed-price basis to a responsible offeror meeting all solicitation requirements, with proposals due by May 1, 2025, at 12:30 PM Central Time. The small business size standard is 850 employees, and the NAICS code is 331492.
