Reflective Glass Beads Supply

The contract seeks the supply of reflective glass beads that meet DOT and MUTCD standards for integration into pavement markings, ensuring optimal nighttime visibility and retroreflectivity for roadways. These beads are essential for maintaining safety and compliance with federal transportation guidelines, particularly in low-light conditions, and must be delivered to meet stringent quality and performance specifications required for durable, long-lasting pavement markings. The procurement is structured as a subcontract, indicating it supports a larger project or initiative under the oversight of the USDA's Office of Property and Fleet Management. The solicitation was posted on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of May 20, 2026, at 7:00 PM, leaving a short window for potential suppliers to submit proposals. Performance is targeted at Beltsville, though the full address details are not provided, and the NAICS code 329199 confirms the focus on other fabricating and finishing operations related to glass products. There is no set-aside designation specified, meaning all eligible contractors may compete, and the contract is directly tied to the Department of Agriculture’s infrastructure or fleet management needs, likely supporting roadway maintenance or new marking installations under its jurisdiction.
