Domestic Sources for Zero-Porosity, High-Performance Coated Parachute Cloth

Notice ID:SCIE_SOAR-COAT_Zero-Porosity_RFI

The U.S. Army is seeking domestic manufacturers capable of producing a Berry Amendment-compliant parachute cloth functionally equivalent to the material specified in Source Control Drawing 11-1-9306, due to a disrupted supply chain for the legacy coated material. The required cloth is a high-performance, zero-porosity, silicone-coated ripstop fabric used in ram-air parachute systems supporting Army operations. Interested parties must submit a Capabilities Statement by May 12, 2026, addressing technical expertise, production capability, and quality control processes. No budget information is specified in this Request for Information. Performance of services would be at the manufacturer’s domestic facility, as the government seeks to identify new domestic sources.
