The Army (Army Contracting Command - Rock Island) wants to buy 4130 alloy steel round bar, 3/8 inch diameter, turned, ground and polished, in 12-foot lengths, for the Rock Island Arsenal in Illinois. It plans one firm-fixed-price purchase order to the lowest-priced qualified small business. Quotes are due 6 PM on October 19, 2026 and delivery is required by November 2, 2026.
Watch out for
- Tight delivery date with no slack. Delivery is due about two weeks after quotes close, and the Government says supplier or material problems are not an acceptable excuse for being late.
On time delivery is critical.
- Aerospace-grade quality system required. The steel mill must hold AS9100 certification and the vendor needs AS9120 or at least ISO 9001 with strict traceability, which many small resellers lack.
HOLD AN AS9100
- Contractor pays shipping and delivery rules are strict. You must price in freight to Rock Island on a flatbed truck, and loads that miss the packing rules could be rejected.
Party to Pay Transportation Cost: Contractor
- Strict packing and bundle limits. Material must be banded, separated by heat number and tagged; bundles are limited in weight and nonconforming deliveries can be rejected.
BUNDLES MAY NOT EXCEED 5,000
- Solicitation text does not match the item. The narrative refers to a different solicitation number and to hinges while the line item is steel bar, so ask the contracting officer to confirm what is being bought and the quantity.

- Quantity not stated. The schedule shows only the unit (12 foot) and no quantity, so you cannot price the order until it is confirmed.
