The contract falls under the NAICS category 325180 for Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing and PSC category 6810 for Chemicals, indicating a specialized chemical procurement for likely defense-related applications.
Notice text
The Government is seeking to acquire the following:
The Ammonium Perchlorate (AP), white granular, crystalline solid having a minimum
purity of 98.0%, a normal content of 0.2% tricalcium phosphate (TCP) as a
conditioner, and a nominal particle size of 200 microns.
AP shall be virgin material and meet the requirements of MIL-DTL-32103, and
Weapon Specification (WS) 18485A Material Specification Ammonium
Perchlorate (For use in PBX Explosives). Within this MILSPEC, AP shall
conform to all references made to MIL-DTL-32103, WS 18485A, and AFX-757.
Ammonium Perchlorate shall be packaged in 500-pound containers.
Due to the importance of the particle size distribution of AP, and the material’s
natural tendencies to absorb moisture, causing clumping/caking/deliquescence,
the AP shall be subjected to granulation requirements of WS 18485A, Table II, and
MIL-DTL-32103, for each lot of material provided to the Government. For
purposes of inspection, a lot of material shall consist of material manufactured in
one contiguous operation unless the material has been homogeneously blended
together. All material blended together during one batch of blending shall be
deemed one lot. Guaranteed Minimum: 36,000 pounds. ALL DELIVERIES
SHALL INCLUDE A PACKING LIST; CERTIFICATE OF
CONFORMANCE; CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS; MSDS; AND
HAZARDOUS WARING LABEL.

SPEC NR: WS 18485A
