Interested vendors must be registered in SAM and respond by the specified deadline. • Provide a capabilities statement covering ability to produce pentolite meeting DoW specifications. • Include historical contract experience, dollar values, points of contact, and product descriptions. • Submit company details (full name, address, CAGE, DUNS, size status, website) to the contracting officer.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

No contract value is disclosed because this is a sources‑sought (information‑only) notice. However, if a future contract were awarded for high‑grade pentolite production, the award could be modest for a pilot batch up to a multi‑year supply agreement. Based on typical defense explosives contracts, a reasonable estimate would be between $0.5 million and $2 million, depending on volume, testing requirements, and certification costs.
