About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for spiral wound, fiberboard gas cartridge tubes with loose caps. This sources sought notice is designed to determine the market's capability to supply specific tube configurations, including 6-inch tubes for APHIS and public use, and 12-inch Denning tubes. The primary objective is to assess small business sources' ability to meet precise technical specifications outlined in the attached drawing, which details exact measurements for tube dimensions, wall thickness, and cap design. Interested vendors must submit their SAM UEI and point of contact information via email to caroline.russell@usda.gov before the February 12, 2025 deadline. This notice is strictly for market research purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation or guarantee of contract award.
The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations, meaning the procurement is open to all qualified suppliers. The total anticipated procurement includes 50,000 6-inch tubes for APHIS, 200,000 6-inch tubes for public use, 5,000 12-inch Denning tubes for APHIS, 5,000 12-inch Denning tubes for public use, and 260,000 loose caps. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the substantial quantity suggests a potentially significant procurement opportunity. The NAICS code 322219 for Other Paperboard Container Manufacturing indicates the type of manufacturing capability required. Vendors should note that this is a voluntary information-gathering process, and the government retains full discretion in determining whether to compete the requirement based on the responses received.
