1356 - 1356-01-106-5985; WW98; Initiating Propellant; DWG: 2508738 REV AA

NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mechanicsburg has issued a pre-solicitation notice for the procurement of Initiating Propellant, identified by NSN 1356-01-106-5985 and Drawing 2508738 REV AA. This requirement is categorized under NAICS 325920 Explosives Manufacturing and PSC 1356 Torpedos and Components, Explosive. The acquisition is structured as a three-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a maximum ordering capacity of 4,200 units across all years and line items. The procurement is unrestricted, allowing all responsible sources to submit an offer for consideration.

The scope of work includes first article testing, production lot testing, and the delivery of contractor data requirements lists, which are designated as FOB Destination, while the primary deliverable items are FOB Origin. Because the requirement involves explosive ordnance items, a pre-award safety survey is required, and specific safety precautions for ammunition and explosives apply under DFARS 252.223-7002. Technical data for the propellant will be made available via SAM.gov, though the government has determined that commercial item acquisition policies under FAR Part 12 do not apply based on initial market research.

The solicitation for this requirement, numbered N0010426RK043, is expected to be available no earlier than the response deadline of January 20, 2026. The specific delivery schedule will be established within the forthcoming solicitation. Kyle Slusser is the designated point of contact for this notice, which was published by the Department of the Navy on December 30, 2025.
