POLYURETHANE COATING

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price contract to 3CHEM LLC for the delivery of two gallons of MIL-PRF-85285E, Type 1, Class H polyurethane topcoat in FED-STD-595 color 37200, valued at $425.00, with delivery required within five days after order placement to Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The contract, solicited under SPE8ES-26-T-2368 and awarded on July 17, 2026, adheres to stringent military packaging and labeling standards including MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging, MIL-STD-129R for marking and barcoding, and RP001 for palletization. The coating must be preserved using HM methodology with a 12-month extendable shelf life, clearly labeled with Special Marking Code 33, and accompanied by OSHA-compliant hazard communication labels per 29 CFR 1910.1200 and DFARS 252.223-7001. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, with the government responsible for verifying compliance against the specified technical and logistical requirements. The contract incorporates a broad suite of Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement clauses addressing employment practices, trafficking prevention, cybersecurity, electronic payment processing, whistleblower protections, export controls, and safeguarding of defense information, with several clauses subject to deviation 2026-00038. The awardee must comply with all subcontracting rules for commercial products, accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, and NIST SP 800-171 DOD assessment requirements. Electronic invoicing through WAWF is mandatory, and no payment, accounting, or administrative contact details beyond the primary point of contact, Stephen Ockenhouse, are provided. The contract type, while not explicitly stated, aligns with simplified acquisition procedures, and the award reflects a price-based selection process typical for low-value, commercially available items with clearly defined military specifications.
