Collection Vial

The Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is conducting market research for the procurement of Collection Vials, a military-unique component with NSN 3740-01-565-0190 and Part Number 5-15-32285, which is used in the Joint Chemical Biological Radiological Agent Water Monitor (End Item M329). The agency is seeking to understand the capabilities, qualifications, and interest levels of both small and large businesses in the defense contracting community for potential production of this specialized component. Interested vendors must complete a survey that covers manufacturing capabilities, production lead times, monthly production rates, pricing information, quality management systems, and commercial availability of the component. The Technical Data Package (TDP) has distribution code C restrictions, limiting access to DoD and U.S. DoD contractors who possess current DD 2345 certification. All survey responses must be submitted via email to Contract Specialist Catherine Castonguay by 4:30 PM Eastern Standard Time on November 13, 2025, and First Article Testing will not be required for this procurement.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to both small and large business participation. No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the sources sought notice, indicating this may be a new requirement or the government is exploring alternative sourcing options. The notice does not specify award values, budget ranges, or quantities needed for the Collection Vials, as this market research phase is designed to gather preliminary industry information rather than provide detailed procurement specifications. The government emphasizes that responses to this survey are for planning purposes only and do not guarantee that a solicitation will be issued or that any contracts will be awarded. The timeline indicates that if a formal solicitation is released following this market research, the Technical Data Package would be made available to qualified vendors at that time. The procurement falls under NAICS code 327213 for Glass Container Manufacturing, suggesting the Collection Vials are likely specialized glass containers designed for military chemical, biological, or radiological detection applications.
