- Description
- The US ARMY has a requirement to purchase two quantity horizontal sigma blade mixers. First mixer, Baker & Perkins 100 gram, Model 4 Cu.: Second mixer, Baker & Perkins 500 gram, Model 2 CX Special Horizontal Batch Mixers. Energetic Thermoplastic Elastomers (ETPE) have been developed that can be formulated with nitramines to produce propellants that have many advantages over conventional single and double based gun propellants. The propellants have been mixed with horizontal sigma blade mixers and extruded without solvents. Nitrocellulose based propellants are also processed using the horizontal sigma blade mixer prior to finishing operations. The horizontal sigma blade mixer is the only explosion proof mixer that can provide homogenous mix and good kneading action on the highly viscous propellant and explosive formulations consisting of energetic ingredients. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within seven days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
