I'm not sure that's possible.
In any case, I don't know specifically how to do it.

Best practice on Unix is for /tmp to be set as 'chmod 1777'. That way, anyone can write to /tmp but they can then only delete or rename or move files which they own. But if you then created a sub-directory like /tmp/mything it would not necessarily inherit the same permissions.

Now ... you *could* run a cron job to 'chmod a+rw /foo/bar'. That's inelegant, but would give the desired effect (if you can tolerate the race condition between cron runs).

All of this is about 'chmod' and you mention 'setfacl'.
I've used 'setfacl' to great effect, but not used the "default" options. So this is the limit of my knowledge on the subject, but I didn't see anyone else reply.

I started a longer reply, but got stuck in the weeds.

Can you describe what you're trying to do?

I’ve never been able to get the setfacl command to do what I’m trying to do. 
Any assistance would be appreciated. I’m trying to set the default ACL for any 
new files or directories created in /foo/bar to be world readable/writable, in 
short I’m looking for the permissions set to 666 for those newly created 
files/directories.
