Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Coating Manufacturing & Chemical Treatment

The contract calls for the manufacture and chemical treatment of aluminum components with a chromium-free, low electrical resistance coating designed to provide corrosion protection for defense applications. The work requires advanced surface engineering to meet stringent military performance standards, ensuring long-term durability in harsh environments while maintaining electrical conductivity critical for electronic and structural systems. The coating must replace traditional chromate-based treatments in compliance with environmental and safety regulations, emphasizing sustainable and non-toxic methodologies without compromising protective performance or operational reliability. The procurement is issued as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, with a North American Industry Classification System code of 332812 for metal coating, engraving, and related activities. Performance is expected to occur at or near Fort Campbell, Kentucky, with a response deadline of August 17, 2026, and the solicitation publicly posted on August 9, 2026. This effort supports modernization initiatives within defense supply chains by transitioning to environmentally compliant technologies while preserving the integrity and functionality of mission-critical aluminum components used in military equipment.
