The Naval Air Warfare Center, a division of the Department of the Navy, is conducting market research to identify potential sources for CL-20 bulk explosives. This sources sought notice, identified by solicitation number N6893625Q0081, is intended to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy and evaluate the availability of responsible sources. The primary requirement is for CL-20 manufactured by a Department of Defense (DOD) qualified and approved U.S. vendor. While the government currently anticipates a sole-source, firm-fixed-price procurement from Northrop Grumman Corporation, it is seeking capability statements from other firms that possess the necessary experience and assets to fulfill the requirement.
This procurement falls under NAICS code 325920 for Explosives Manufacturing, which has a size standard of 750 employees, and PSC 1376 for Bulk Explosives. Interested vendors must provide a capability statement of no more than five pages that outlines their company size, previous related projects, and teaming arrangements. Additionally, contractors must be certified through Defense Logistics Information Services (DLIS) to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). All responses and inquiries must be submitted to the point of contact, Erika Martin, by the deadline of September 8, 2025.
