3M 401+ Masking Tape BPA

The Department of the Air Force is issuing a total small‑business set‑aside (FA8125‑26‑Q‑0053) for a five‑year Blanket Purchase Agreement to supply 3M 401 masking tape for the 569th Corrosion Control Program. The requirement calls for four tape widths (12 mm, 24 mm, 48 mm, 76 mm), each 55 m (60 yd) in length, meeting SAE AMS‑T‑21595 (formerly MIL‑T‑21595) Types 1‑2 specifications: single‑sided crepe‑paper backing, natural/synthetic rubber adhesive, adhesive strength 35‑50 oz/in (ASTM D3330), minimum tensile strength 24 lb/in and elongation 14 % (ASTM D3759), high‑temperature rating of 249 °F for 30 min, green color, and at least six months shelf life remaining. Market research (DSBS, SAM) identified numerous qualified small businesses—including women‑owned, service‑disabled veteran‑owned, and disadvantaged firms—and received Rough Order of Magnitude responses from eight vendors, with six additional interested suppliers. Although competition is encouraged, the contracting officer justifies limiting the award to the 3M 401 product to ensure cost‑effective execution of the corrosion control program. Offers will be solicited from the identified small‑business sources, with price analysis used to determine a fair and reasonable price. Performance will be in Coffeyville, Oklahoma.
