High Temp Pressure Sensitive Adhesive

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is conducting a sources sought inquiry for high-temperature, pressure-sensitive adhesive products. The procurement seeks interested parties to provide pricing and delivery time information for APLIX 800 Series adhesive tape, 1 inch wide in yellow, with two specific part numbers identified as technically acceptable for government use. Interested vendors should contact Andrew R. Smith, Purchasing Agent at PSNS, via email at andrew.r.smith6@navy.mil or andrew.r.smith7.civ@us.navy.mil with the subject line referencing "5282-7170 Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Sources Sought." The primary evaluation criteria focus on technical acceptability, pricing competitiveness, and delivery timeline capability. The response deadline for this sources sought notice is February 10, 2026, providing a five-day window for interested contractors to express their capability and interest in the upcoming formal solicitation.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business concerns. The government is seeking quantities of 120 straight lengths (SL) for each of the two adhesive tape configurations specified in the Ordering Data Sheets. While specific budget information is not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the government has pre-identified APLIX part numbers A800R0025L052-L and A800R0025H052SL as technically acceptable solutions, suggesting potential incumbent familiarity with these products. No incumbent contractor information is provided at this stage, as this remains an exploratory sources sought phase prior to formal solicitation release. The government requires that any changes to specifications or technical requirements must receive approval from the Shipyard's Administrative Contracting Officer, indicating strict adherence to established product specifications.
