About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Contracting Command at Rock Island Arsenal is seeking to procure Initiator Delay, Cartridge Actuator Initiator components designated by Department of Defense Identification Codes JL56 and JL57. This pre-solicitation notice is issued under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.103-1, indicating that the Army has determined only one responsible source can satisfy its requirements for these specialized explosives manufacturing components. The notice is intended to solicit subcontracting opportunities rather than competitive prime contract proposals, reflecting the sole-source nature of the procurement. Interested parties should direct all questions and comments to the identified contracting officers: Emily Kundel, Caitlyn Smith, and Meghan Newman at their respective Army email addresses. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 17, 2026, with an April 2, 2026 deadline, though this synopsis does not constitute a formal Request for Proposal or commitment by the government.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is anticipated to be awarded solely to Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company based on the sole-source justification. The applicable NAICS code is 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 750 employees, and the related Product Service Code is 1377 (Cartridge and Propellant Actuated Devices and Components). The notice does not specify contract value, award quantity, or timeline for performance completion. As a pre-solicitation notice focused on subcontracting opportunities rather than a formal competitive solicitation, specific evaluation criteria and detailed contract requirements will likely be provided in subsequent documentation to interested subcontractors and suppliers.
