About this opportunity
The Department of the Army is seeking sources for 3M aerospace sealants through a brand-name sources-sought notice, with responses due October 21, 2026 by 10:00 AM EST. The procurement is not set-aside and covers two polysulfide sealant products under separate sole-source justifications below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
The requirement encompasses 425 units of 3M AC-350 B-2 (SAE AMS-S-8802 Type II, Class B-2) in 3.5-fl.oz. cartridges with 2-hour working time, and 250 units of 3M AC-350 B-1/2 (SAE AMS-S-8802 Type II, Class B-1/2) in 2-fl.oz. cartridges with 30-minute working time. Both products are two-component polysulfide sealants, HAZMAT classified, supplied with dispensing tips, and require minimum seven-month shelf life upon delivery on December 11, 2026. Pre-mixed frozen form will not be accepted.
Contracting occurs under Army Contracting Command (ACC)–Tobyhanna Division, Aberdeen Proving Ground, with firm fixed-price, Fiscal Year 2027 AWCF funding. The justification for sole-source authority rests on AC-350's superior performance, fastest cure time, shortest production rates, strong adhesion on painted surfaces, and efficiency in labor and stock management. Comparative testing from 2022 to 2025 confirmed AC-350 outperformed alternatives on Qualified Products Lists for both SAE standards.
Respondents must submit to Kaila Black, Purchasing Agent (kaila.e.black.civ@army.mil), and provide company information, CAGE code, NAICS code, business size, SAM registration status, GSA contract number if applicable, and Safety Data Sheets. Formal solicitation will issue separately through SAM.gov.
