Nylon-tungsten granular

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is conducting market research to identify qualified suppliers for Nylon/Tungsten Granules, a thermoplastic composite material consisting of Tungsten/PA 12 Composite at 11 g/cc density. The government has identified ECOMASS TECHNOLOGIES part number 1700TU96 NAT as technically acceptable for this requirement, and responses are due by March 27, 2026. Interested parties must submit a brief statement of interest and capability including company name, address, point of contact information, CAGE Code, and Unique Entity ID (UEI), along with confirmation of their ability to supply the specified part number; quotes and pricing information should not be submitted at this time. This is a market research notice only and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment by the government to issue a future solicitation or contract. The government will not reimburse any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice, and all responses should be submitted via email to carolyn.j.george.civ@us.navy.mil.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, limiting competition to small business entities. ECOMASS TECHNOLOGIES is the identified manufacturer of the technically acceptable part, though the government is actively seeking alternative sources through this market research effort. The requirement specifies a quantity of 5 units, with each unit consisting of one 50-pound container, for a total procurement of 250 pounds of material. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 325991 (Custom Compounding of Purchased Resins) and PSC code 5350 (Abrasive Materials). No budget range or award value has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as the government is still in the information-gathering phase to assess market capability and availability of qualified suppliers.
