Flotation Material Supply (Polystyrene Insulation)

The contract entails the supply of rigid, closed-cell polystyrene insulation blocks meeting ASTM C-578 specifications, intended for use as buoyancy cores in marine float modules. These materials must maintain structural integrity and thermal resistance under prolonged marine exposure, ensuring reliable flotation performance in demanding aquatic environments. The requirement is part of a subcontract under the California Department of Parks & Recreation, with performance expected in Shasta, California, supporting localized marine infrastructure initiatives. Responses are due by May 13, 2026, and the solicitation falls under NAICS code 326199, which covers other plastic product manufacturing. There is no set-aside designation specified, and the contract does not indicate whether it is reserved for small businesses or other categories. While no point of contact or detailed address information is provided, the procurement is accessible through the California eProcurement portal, and suppliers must ensure full compliance with ASTM standards for material density, compressive strength, and moisture resistance to qualify for award.
