Flag, Contamination

The Department of the Army, specifically the Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal, is conducting market research for a one-time procurement of 204 Contamination Flags (NSN 6665-01-570-0291) for the End Item M328 Sign Kit. This pre-solicitation notice seeks to identify potential vendors with the capability to manufacture these specialized flags, with a Technical Data Package that is limited to DOD and US DOD contractors. Vendors are required to submit a detailed response by April 18, 2025, at 4:30 PM local Warren, MI time, via email to Kelly Germano. The evaluation will focus on vendors' manufacturing experience, production capacity, lead times, and pricing capabilities. Respondents must complete a comprehensive questionnaire covering their business profile, NAICS code, small business status, nonmanufacturer rule qualifications, and technical data agreement status.

The procurement does not have a specific small business set-aside designation, and the government has included a potential 100% option for future procurement. Vendors must provide detailed information about their manufacturing capabilities, including production locations, monthly production rates, current pricing, and quality management systems. While the exact award value is not specified, the initial requirement is for 204 Contamination Flags, with potential for future orders. The technical data package will only be available if a solicitation is ultimately released, and the government maintains no obligation to issue a solicitation or award a contract as a result of this market research. Responses are voluntary, and vendors are encouraged to demonstrate their full range of capabilities in meeting the Department of the Army's specific requirements for these specialized flags.
