The contract is set to be awarded by July 17, 2024, and falls under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
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 Goulston Technologies Inc. located at 700 N Johnson Street, Monroe, North Carolina 28110-2650, under the authority as prescribed in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The requirement is for the purchase of the Lurol NF-9273 Spin Finish chemical for lubrication purposes during nylon fiber manufacturing operations. Lurol NF-9273 is manufactured by Goulston Technologies, Inc., and it has been determined as the only viable Spin Finish for use in our custom fiber extrusion process. Other spin finishes for other fiber types (polypropylene) have been examined and tried, however, those materials have a lower vapor density and thus the materials burn off during draw production processing and cause dryness of the spun fiber resulting in the loss of some of the lubrication during the drawing process. Goulston Technologies is the only known provider of the required Spin Finish and no equivalent products that will meet the requirements are known. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 325613 and the size standard is 1,100 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-SCN, Natick Contracting Division via EMAIL ONLY to alexandra.m.biro2.civ@army.mil and alejandro.ayala.civ@army.mil no later than 1500 EST 17 July 2024. 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.
