Nylon 6/6 Zytel 42a

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.
