MARINE PAINT & COATINGS

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime Norfolk Naval Shipyard is preparing to negotiate a Firm Fixed Price Requirements-Type Contract for the supply of commercial structural marine coatings and paints approved for Navy shipboard use. The contract will include a one-year base period with two additional one-year option periods, totaling no more than three years. This procurement will follow Federal Acquisition Regulation guidelines for commercial items and will be open to all responsible sources without restrictions. Delivery will be made to three primary naval shipyard locations: Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine, and Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii. The contract will cover a family of products under the Federal Supply Class for paints and related products, with specific items and quantities detailed in the formal solicitation. The solicitation, numbered SPMYM1-21-Q-0022, is expected to be posted on beta.SAM.gov around February 12, 2021, and will require offers to be submitted in English and U.S. dollars, including full compliance with all technical and certification requirements. Evaluation of offers will be based on multiple factors such as price, delivery, and past performance, with an emphasis on best value rather than price alone. The acquisition also falls under certain international trade agreements. Prospective contractors must complete the solicitation documentation thoroughly, maintain active SAM registration, and direct any inquiries solely via email to the designated point of contact, Amanda Spenn, ensuring the solicitation number is referenced in all correspondence.
