Artist’s Brush Manufacturing and Supply

The contract mandates the full manufacturing and supply of 12,000 artist’s brushes to meet federal and military standards for packaging, labeling, and hazardous materials handling, ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations for defense procurement. The work must be performed under a small business set-aside designation, specifically reserved for total small businesses as defined under FAR 19.5, with the North American Industry Classification System code 339940 applying to the manufacturing scope. All deliverables are required to be shipped to Tinker Air Force Base, OK, with a zip code of 73145-8000, and the contract is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Defense’s Construction & Equipment MRO SVC I program. The solicitation was posted on August 4, 2026, with a firm response deadline of August 17, 2026, indicating a tight turnaround for interested small business contractors to submit proposals. The procurement environment is strictly competitive within the small business sector, and bidders must be prepared to demonstrate capacity to meet exacting military specifications for product integrity, safety compliance, and logistical readiness. The absence of a designated point of contact or office address suggests that all communications and submissions must be processed through the DIBBS portal using the provided RFQ link.
