CLEANING, CHEMICALS

The contract solicitation, numbered 70Z08526Q30079B00, issued by the U.S. Coast Guard’s Surface Forces Logistics Center Procurement Branch 2 under the Department of Homeland Security, seeks the procurement of three distinct chemical products under a Total Small Business Set-Aside. The items include 100 units each of a preservative chemical and two cleaning chemicals, each identified by specific National Stock Numbers and part numbers, with delivery required by July 1, 2026, to the U.S. Coast Guard facility in Curtis Bay, Maryland. The contract operates under FOB Destination terms, mandating that the contractor assume all risk and responsibility for delivery, ensuring items are individually packaged in hermetically sealed containers to prevent contamination, corrosion, and deterioration, with each package clearly marked with NSN, part number, purchase order number, condition code, and vendor information. Accompanying each shipment must be an itemized packing list and a Material Safety Data Sheet. All proposals must originate from a certified small business registered in SAM.gov with a valid Unique Entity ID and CAGE code, and must include mandatory FAR-compliant representations and certifications, including small business size status, equal opportunity obligations for veterans and workers with disabilities, prohibitions on trafficking and improper subcontracting, and adherence to service contract labor standards and wage requirements. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses governing inspection, acceptance, payment, and compliance, including accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, restrictions on contracting with certain foreign entities, and compliance with the Buy American Act and Trade Agreements. Invoicing must be submitted electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform, and payment will be processed via Electronic Funds Transfer. While unit prices are not specified in the solicitation, the requirement for a firm fixed price contract implies pricing will be determined through competitive bid, with award likely based on lowest price technically acceptable given the lack of scored evaluation factors. Delivery must occur Monday through Friday between 7:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M., and all packaging and labeling must meet military specification standards consistent with WMEC 270 MPC A-C-10778 and implied compliance with MIL-STD-129.
