- Description
- 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene (TCB) is used in military explosives manufacture. Headquarters, US Army Contracting Command (ACC) is conducting a market survey of industry to identify actual/potential sources that exhibit the capability or interest in establishing the capability to manufacture and supply 99% 1,3,5, TCB CAS [108-70-3]. As an indicator of your qualifications, a respondent to this market survey must be able to demonstrate that they have adequate technical and manufacturing capacity, and acceptable past performance, in the manufacture and/or supply of 99% 1,3,5 TCB CAS [108-70-3] and/or similar chemical material(s). Interested companies who feel that have the necessary capabilities or have interest in establishing these capabilities should respond by providing the Government the following information in the time-frame as established above: a brief summary of the companys capabilities; description of facilities, personnel and related manufacturing experience; estimated minimum and maximum monthly production quantities with associated prices and lead-times; whether 99% 1,3,5 TCB CAS [108-70-3] is currently in production or when last produced; other chemicals material(s) produced; and the minimum procurement quantity (MPC) required for production. If a respondent does not currently have adequate resources (technical, manufacturing, personnel, etc.) available, the respondent is requested to provide the estimated time and cost to establish this capability. If a respondent chooses to utilize the services of sub tier sources or subcontractor for 99% 1,3,5 TCB CAS [108-70-3] or precursor materials, it is requested that these sources be identified. A respondents available production capacity must be sufficient to manufacture/supply TCB at annual quantity of 25,000-40,000 lbs. A respondent to this market survey may be requested to respond to a more detailed questionnaire. This market survey is being posted under both classification codes 68 Chemicals and Chemical Products and 13 Ammunition and Explosives. Only one response is necessary for both of these classifications as they represent the same requirement.
