The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has published Special Notice N0002424SN regarding the development of draft military specification MIL-DTL-32124B for propellant, encompassing six specific NSWC/IH-BC designations. This Special Notice, posted on January 20, 2026, is classified under NAICS code 928110 (National Security) and PSC code 1377 (Cartridge and Propellant Actuated Devices and Components). The notice originates from the Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command, located at 1333 Isaac Hull Ave., SE, in Washington Navy Yard, DC. It is important to note that this announcement is explicitly not a solicitation but rather an advance notification of specification development. The Special Notice invites industry engagement during the specification development process.

NAVSEA's primary objective is to develop specifications and standards that accommodate diverse design solutions and processes while expanding the vendor base for propellant products. Interested parties may request copies of the draft specification by emailing CommandStandards@navy.mil with the document number in the subject line; the review period concludes on February 19, 2026. There are no specific eligibility restrictions mentioned, and participation in this review phase does not constitute a formal procurement opportunity at this time. Once the final specification is completed, it will be available through ASSIST Online at https://quicksearch.dla.mil/. This Special Notice represents an opportunity for vendors to provide input on propellant specifications during the development phase, potentially positioning themselves favorably for future procurement actions related to these standards.
