The Department of the Army, through the Army Contracting Command (ACC) - Aberdeen Proving Ground, Tobyhanna Division, is seeking potential vendors for five 60-lb powder form units of Bonderite MCR600, a chromate conversion coating for aluminum (part number 2333981-38190). This sources sought notice is issued for information and planning purposes to identify qualified suppliers capable of meeting the government's chemical procurement needs. Key requirements include providing the longest possible shelf life inventory, current expiration dates, and the most recent Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the product. The government will award a Firm-Fixed-Price Delivery Order under NAICS code 325180 (Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing). Interested vendors must submit detailed business information, including company details, contact information, CAGE code, NAICS classification, business size designation, SAM registration status, and any applicable GSA contract numbers to Kaila Black at kaila.e.black.civ@army.mil by the deadline of December 19, 2025 at 10:00 AM EST.

This procurement is not designated for any set-aside program. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in the sources sought notice. The anticipated delivery timeline is within 6 weeks following contract award, with delivery required to Tobyhanna Army Depot. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or current suppliers. As this is a sources sought notice rather than a formal Request for Proposal, submission of business information does not guarantee consideration for the eventual contract award, and the government retains full discretion in determining whether to proceed with a formal solicitation based on the information received.
