The Naval Air Warfare Center at China Lake intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole-source contract to Valimet, Inc. for 1,000 lbs of spherical aluminum powder. This powder is required to maintain the current propellant's established physical baseline, since alternative powders would alter mechanical properties and require costly re-baselining. Performance would occur at Valimet's facility in Stockton, California. No request for quotes will be issued, but interested parties may submit a capability statement to demonstrate they can meet the requirement. Interested parties must maintain active SAM registration and appropriate CUI/export control certifications.
