Paversol Solvent Asphalt

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command is seeking to procure 6 containers (275 gallons each) of Paversol Solvent Asphalt, a specialized biodegradable asphalt solvent manufactured exclusively by K and L Supply Inc. The solicitation (W519TC25Q2099) requires vendors to be registered in SAM.gov and submit detailed technical specifications with their quotes. Quotes are due by January 20, 2025 at 10:00 AM Central time, with all questions to be submitted no later than 72 hours prior to the closing date via email to casey.p.pratt.civ@army.mil. The evaluation will be based on the lowest price from a responsible offeror, with strict requirements that only the specific Paversol brand (part #KLPS-275) will be accepted, and no substitutes are permitted. Vendors must also provide a safety data sheet with their shipment.

The contract is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 325180, with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The procurement is specifically for the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant located in McAlester, OK 74501, with a required delivery date of February 17, 2025. K and L Supply Inc. from Brookshire, TX is identified as the sole manufacturer of Paversol, which is critical for internal cleaning of tar lining systems and cleaning rejected tar-lined bomb bodies. The solvent was selected for its unique technical properties, including a low evaporation rate, high flash point above 200F, compatibility with system components, ability to be filtered for reuse, and 100% biodegradability. Failure to procure this specific product could potentially result in extensive system downtime, which could impact military readiness and operational revenue.
