M334 Decontamination Kit, Individual Equipment

The Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is conducting a sources sought survey for the M334 Decontamination Kit, Individual Equipment, which is a military-unique component with NSN 4230-01-643-8267. The survey seeks to identify interested vendors' capabilities and qualifications for potential production of this kit, with responses being accepted until 4:00 PM EST on January 15, 2025. Interested companies are required to complete a detailed survey addressing their manufacturing capabilities, production facilities, First Article Testing experience, production lead times, monthly production rates, current unit pricing, and quality management systems. Responses should be emailed to Danielle Campbell, the Contract Specialist, with specific instructions for submission. The Technical Data Package (TDP) will only be made available to vendors if and when a formal solicitation is released, and it currently has a distribution code that limits access to U.S. Government agencies and certified contractors.

The pre-solicitation notice does not specify a set-aside for small businesses, indicating the opportunity is open to both small and large businesses under NAICS code 325998 for Miscellaneous Chemical Product Manufacturing. The total estimated procurement quantity is 376,380 units, with a complex distribution plan of 512,220 units in Year 1 and 135,840 units in each of Years 2-5. First Article Testing is a mandatory requirement for potential contractors, and vendors must clearly identify their business size status in their responses. While no specific award value is mentioned, the substantial quantity suggests a significant contract opportunity. The procurement process will focus on evaluating vendor capabilities across manufacturing, production capacity, quality management, and technical compliance with the decontamination kit's specifications.
