142WG Water Filter Media

The Department of the Army Oregon Army National Guard is conducting market research for a sources sought notice to procure specialized water filter media for stormwater filtration purposes. Specifically, the 142WG Base Contracting Office is seeking suppliers capable of providing iron-free spherical bead media with a precise bead size range between 0.297mm and 1.19mm, designed to remove and contain dissolved polyphosphate through ion exchange mechanisms. Interested vendors must complete the attached Sources Sought Cover Sheet and submit their response via email to james.vogt.4@us.af.mil by April 18, 2025. The pre-solicitation notice (Solicitation Number PANNGB-25-P-008860) is purely for market research purposes, and no contract will be directly awarded from this process. The opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 3252 for Resin, Synthetic Rubber, and Artificial and Synthetic Fibers and Filaments Manufacturing, and PSC code 4610 for Water Purification Equipment.

The contract opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, which means only small businesses are eligible to respond to the eventual solicitation. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the targeted procurement is for stormwater filter media to be used on a military base. The technical specifications are precise, requiring vendors to demonstrate the ability to supply spherical bead media within the specified size range and with ion exchange capabilities for polyphosphate removal. No incumbent contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and the timeline for the eventual contract award is not explicitly stated. Potential respondents should carefully review the Sources Sought Cover Sheet and ensure they meet the technical requirements before submitting their capabilities statement to the designated point of contact.
