Quick Summary
The Department of Defense (DoD), specifically the Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the 2026 Chemical and Material Risk Management Program (CMRMP) Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Market Analysis. This RFI seeks to identify and assess critical applications for the DoD and defense industrial base (DIB) that necessitate the use of existing chemicals undergoing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) TSCA section 6 risk evaluation process. Responses are due by June 19, 2026, 5:00 PM EDT.
Purpose
This RFI is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or promise of a future contract. Its primary goal is to help the Office of the Assistant Secretary of War for Energy, Installations, and Environment (OASW(EI&E)) CMRMP better understand DoD and DIB uses of 10 specific TSCA high-priority chemicals (listed in Attachment 1, Table 1). The DoD aims to identify applications requiring these chemicals and their criticality for industry and defense supply chains. Early identification of critical applications allows the DoD to investigate alternatives, inform interagency engagement, and manage chemicals vital to national defense.
Information Requested
Respondents are required to provide detailed information using the provided "Attachment 2 - Information Template for 2026 CMRMP TSCA RFI.xlsx" spreadsheet. Key areas of inquiry include:

- Disclosure of Chemical Source Reporting: Information on whether the respondent manufactures, purchases from domestic suppliers, imports, or uses products containing the specified high-priority chemicals.
