About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Drum is procuring thermal vermiculite insulation specifically designed for packing hazardous chemicals and liquids. The procurement requires Type 1 (expanding/exfoliating) Grade 4 (super fine) vermiculite meeting ASTM-C-516 specifications, with a bulk density range of 5.5 to 8.0 lbs per cubic foot and precise particle size requirements verified through sieve analysis. Vendors must provide a Certificate of Conformance and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) with each delivery, and packages must contain approximately 25 lbs per bag. The evaluation criteria emphasize strict adherence to technical specifications and submission of complete documentation including manufacturer information, lot/batch numbers, manufacture/expiration dates, and analytical data, with approval from the MCAAP Contracting Officer required before contract award. The response deadline is April 6, 2026, representing a seven-day window from the March 30, 2026 posting date.
This is a Total Small Business set-aside solicitation, with R.M. Waite Co. (510-535-1266) identified as the reference standard or equal. The contract specifies delivery of 24,750 pounds per shipment across fifteen scheduled deliveries extending from May 13, 2026, through November 3, 2027, totaling approximately 371,250 pounds over the contract period. The place of performance is located at Building 4, 1 C Tree Road, McAlester, Oklahoma 74501. While no explicit award value is stated in the notice, the substantial quantity and extended delivery schedule indicate a significant procurement opportunity for small businesses capable of meeting rigorous military-grade specifications and maintaining consistent quality standards throughout the contract term.
