Repair KAron Coating

The contract for Repair Karon Coating, identified by solicitation number N3904025P4807, is a sole-source procurement issued by the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard under the Department of Defense to restore Karon Type-V coating on four center blocks of a naval vessel. The work is critical to maintaining operational readiness, as the coating’s failure during disassembly has created an unusual and compelling urgency to complete repairs by May 31, 2025, to avoid delaying the vessel’s reactivation and impacting national security objectives. The only qualified source for this specialized coating is KAMATICS, which holds exclusive licensing rights and proprietary process control over Karon Type-V, making competition impossible under FAR Subpart 13.5. The repair must strictly adhere to engineering drawing specifications, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the place of performance in Kittery, Maine, where the government will verify compliance with dimensional integrity and surface condition requirements. No competitive evaluation factors, pricing data, or CLIN structure are defined, as the acquisition is justified solely on the basis of proprietary technology and time-sensitive mission needs. Packaging, marking, invoicing, and payment details are not specified, and no formal contract type, options, or staffing requirements are outlined. The procurement is processed through SAM.gov, with the primary point of contact being Alyssa Scarelli of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and all supporting documentation, including proof of exclusive licensing, must be submitted in support of the limited source justification.
