Pentolite
DEVCOM-AC’s Munitions Engineering Technology Center at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, is conducting market research to assess industry’s ability to manufacture and produce Pentolite, a sensitive secondary high explosive used for NOL Large and Extra-Large Scale Card Gap Tests and required to meet AOP-7 and DoW qualification specifications. Similar lower-grade material is produced for commercial mining and blasting, and such facilities may be able to accept a DoW contract for the higher-grade product. Interested vendors are encouraged to submit capabilities statements covering product compliance, historical contract experience, company details, business size, NAICS 325920/PSC 1375 information, and SAM registration. Responses should be sent by email to the designated Contracting/Agreements Officer and Contract Specialist; phone inquiries will not be accepted. This is an informational sources-sought market survey only, not an RFP or solicitation, and the Government is not obligated to award a contract or pay for response preparation.
