Material Supply: Specialty Concrete and Composites

The Smithsonian Institution is seeking qualified suppliers to provide high-performance materials for artificial rock fabrication, specifically glass fiber-reinforced concrete, urethane resins, and UV-stable coatings. These materials must meet stringent quality and durability standards to ensure long-term structural integrity and aesthetic consistency in outdoor installations. The contract is structured as a subcontract and is tied to the NAICS code 327320, indicating a focus on ready-mix concrete manufacturing. Performance is expected to occur at a location with the zip code 20008, which corresponds to Washington D.C., where Smithsonian facilities will utilize the materials for exhibition and landscape projects. Bidders must submit responses by July 17, 2026, at 7:00 PM Eastern Time, following the posting of the opportunity on June 22, 2026. While no set-aside preferences or agency-specific organizational details are listed, the materials supplier must demonstrate proven experience with specialty composites and the ability to deliver consistent, high-grade formulations suitable for museum-quality environments.
