Description
The U.S. Army RDECOM-ARDEC is conducting a Market Survey to identify and qualify potential source(s) for supplying the U.S. Army with N-Methyl-p- Nitroaniline (MNA), Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) # 100-15-2 for use in Department of Defense munitions. Respondents should currently possess a manufacturing capability to produce the MNA for use in high explosive insensitive munitions and cast cure propellant formulation used by the tri- service. Respondents should have sufficient production capacity to supply the U.S. Army a total quantity of approximately 1,000 pounds of MNA per year. Interested firms who feel they are capable of manufacturing MNA that meets military specifications MIS 29153, 21 April 1982 and WS 18421B, 1 July 1991 are invited to indicate their interest by providing the U.S. Army a detail description (chemical and physical properties) of their MNA including product cost, and a brief summary of their company?s capabilities including brief description of facilities, personnel, past production experience and environmental compliance as it relates to the product(s). A follow-up detailed questionnaire may be provided to survey respondents and on-site visits may be performed as a result of further analysis. Samples from respondents may be purchased for in-house preliminary testing. Also, interested firms should provide the manufacture?s name, address, point-of-contact with telephone number and e-mail address, size of business (small/large) and country where the facility is located. The information must be submitted within 30 calendar days from the date of this publication to: U.S. Army RDECOM-ARDEC ATTN: Producibility for Production Readiness Competency, Building 321 AMSRD-AAR-AEE-P, Mr. Bishara Elmasri or Mr. Peter Bonnett Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000 E-mail: belmasri@pica.army.mil or pbonnett@pica.army.mil If there are any technical questions, please contact Mr. Bishara Elmasri @ (973) 724-3298 or Mr. Peter Bonnett @ (973) 724-3747. This Market Survey is for planning purpose only and should not be construed as a request for proposal or as an obligation on the part of the U.S. Government.
