Draft the paperwork

Written against this notice and what you have told us about your company. Anything we do not know is marked [NEEDS INPUT] in the draft rather than guessed at — read it before you send it.

Sources Sought response

A complete draft response — capability statement, relevant past performance, business size and socioeconomic status, and answers to the agency's specific questions.

Questions to submit

Genuine ambiguities and requirements that disadvantage a smaller bidder, drafted as questions you can submit before the Q&A deadline.

Past performance write-ups

Which of your prior awards best match this requirement, and draft write-ups in the format the agency asked for.

Account requiredWho wins this work, and what it pays

Comparable awards under NAICS 325211 at this agency — the incumbent, what they were paid, when their period of performance ends, and the real pricing distribution rather than the headline number. From public federal award records.

Statement of work, as posted

The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Natick Division in support of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command – Soldier Center (DEVCOM-SC) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract on a sole source basis to Formerra LLC located at 1250 Windham Pkwy, Romeoville, Illinois 60446-1673, under the authority as prescribed in 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by RFO FAR 6.103-1. This requirement is for the procurement of Nylon 6/6 Zytel 42a polymer. The United States Army DEVCOM-SC under the direction of its customer, an Other Government Agency (OGA), requires highly specialized polymer to be used in the formulation of its government furnished materials (GFM) by the Fiber Production Branch (FPB). DuPont is the only manufacturer of this material, and Formerra LLC is the only licensed distributor of this material for DuPont in North America. FPB’s customer prohibits changing the materials used in production of GFM and therefore a different grade or type of polymer would be unsuitable. No company other than Formerra LLC is known to be capable of providing the required polymer. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 325211 and the size standard is 1,250 employees. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. No solicitation document is available. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability by sending responses regarding this requirement to the Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground CCAP-DDN, Natick Division via EMAIL ONLY to alexandra.m.biro2.civ@army.mil and lyndon.s.jagroop.civ@army.mil no later than 1500 EST 21 August 2026. Any questions regarding this notice must be in writing only; no telephonic replies will be accepted. The U.S. government will not pay for any information or administrative cost incurred in response to this Notice. All costs associated with responding to this Notice will be solely at the expense of the interested party.
