ESD-Safe Countertop Supply

The contract entails the supply of ESD-safe countertops specifically designed as integral components for technical benches used within a calibration laboratory environment, ensuring protection against electrostatic discharge that could compromise sensitive equipment and measurements. These countertops must meet stringent technical specifications to maintain the integrity of precision calibrations and comply with industry standards for static control in high-sensitivity settings. The opportunity is structured as a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small businesses certified by the Small Business Administration are eligible to compete, reinforcing the government’s commitment to supporting small business participation in defense-related procurement. The North American Industry Classification System code 326199 identifies the category as other plastic product manufacturing, indicating the countertops are likely custom-engineered thermoset or composite materials tailored to laboratory requirements. The solicitation was posted on April 29, 2026, with a firm deadline for responses on May 8, 2026, at 8:00 PM, leaving a narrow window for interested vendors to prepare and submit proposals. The contracting activity is managed by the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division under the Department of Defense, with performance expected to support its calibration and testing infrastructure. While specific location details for performance or the contracting office are not provided, the requirement is clearly tied to the operational needs of a specialized defense laboratory environment. The lack of a point of contact listed suggests all communication and submission processes will be handled through the official SAM.gov portal linked in the posting, and vendors are expected to rely on the solicitation’s technical documentation for clarification of specifications and compliance criteria.
