Masking Tape

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting a sources sought market research for masking tape through a proposed 5-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). The 76 AMXG/569 AMXS at Tinker Air Force Base requires four specific masking tape sizes: 24mm (1 inch), 48mm (2 inch), 76mm (3 inch), and 12mm (1/2 inch), each 55m (60 yards) in length. The masking tape must meet stringent technical specifications including adherence to SAE AMS-T-21595 standard, single-sided construction with natural/synthetic rubber adhesive blend, crepe paper backing, adhesive strength of 35-50oz/in, minimum tensile strength of 24lb/in, and capability to withstand surface temperatures of 249°F for 30 minutes. Interested contractors must submit a comprehensive Contractor Capability Survey that includes detailed business information, NAICS code classification, facility capabilities, past project experience, quality assurance processes, and production capacity. The deadline for responses is 12:00 PM CST on October 8, 2025, with questions directed to Program Manager Tori Wallace at 405-734-0453.

This procurement opportunity has no set-aside designation and encourages participation from both large and small businesses, with joint ventures and teaming arrangements welcomed. No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the documentation, and no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed at this market research phase. The tape must provide high contrast against silver aluminum and be available in acceptable colors including green, blue, purple, red, orange, and yellow. The 5-year BPA structure indicates a long-term procurement approach for ongoing masking tape requirements. Participation in this market survey does not guarantee inclusion in future solicitations or contract awards, and the government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their survey participation.
