Hydrocarbon absorpt

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is soliciting offers for hydrocarbon absorptive materials through an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) to support military depot operations. The procurement will be conducted as an unrestricted solicitation under FAR Part 13.5 procedures using Other Than Full and Open Competition methods, as the items are available from only one or limited sources. The contract will span a base period of one year with four optional renewal periods, totaling five years if all options are exercised, with annual price adjustments applied via an escalation factor. Award decisions will be based on a combination of price, past performance, delivery capability, and other evaluation factors detailed in the solicitation. The solicitation is expected to be released on or about February 27, 2026, with a due date of February 27, 2026, and additional information will be available at http://dibbs.dscc.dla.mil/rfp.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is unrestricted to all responsible sources. The two identified approved sources are Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (CAGE: 26916, Part Number 034-005559-0001) and Brownell Ltd (CAGE: K3649, Part Number BLD9400), each offering the same NSN 4330015383558 hydrocarbon absorptive material. The estimated annual demand is 6,032 units for the single CLIN line item, which will be managed by DLA Land and Maritime throughout the contract period. While specific budget information is not provided in the pre-solicitation notice, the annual quantity forecast and multi-year contract structure indicate significant procurement volume. Interested contractors should note that drawings and specifications will not be available through BSM DIBBS, requiring vendors to consult other sources for technical documentation.
