Anchoring Device

The Department of the Army, specifically Army Contracting Command - Warren, is conducting market research for an Anchoring Device (NSN: 1670-00-999-3544) under NAICS code 314999. This sources sought synopsis is designed to gather information from potential vendors about their capabilities for manufacturing specialized textile-based equipment, with a particular focus on Fast Ropes and related anchoring systems. Interested vendors must submit comprehensive responses within 30 days of the February 28, 2025 posting, directly to Deborah Hough via email. The submission must include detailed company information, including DUNS and CAGE codes, SAM registration status, business size, commercial availability, manufacturing expertise, delivery capabilities, and First Article Testing experience. Responses are strictly limited to 15 pages, formatted in Microsoft Word with Times New Roman 12-point font and one-inch margins.

The pre-solicitation notice explicitly states that this is a market research initiative and does not guarantee a subsequent solicitation or contract award. There are no specific set-aside designations, meaning both small and large businesses are eligible to respond. While no specific award value or budget range is provided, the document suggests the government is comprehensively assessing vendor capabilities for potential future procurement of anchoring devices. The place of performance details will be determined based on vendor submissions, and the government is seeking to understand the commercial and manufacturing landscape for these specialized textile products. The response deadline is March 17, 2025, providing vendors approximately 18 days to compile and submit their detailed capabilities overview.
