RUST ARRESTING COAT

Defense Logistics Agency award SPE8ES26V0414 is a total small business set-aside contract awarded to CESCO, Inc. on June 29, 2026, for the procurement of a rust arresting coat. The contract, valued at 277.00 dollars, covers the supply of a vinyl-acrylic copolymer resin system designed to stop and prevent rusting on ferrous metal surfaces such as iron and steel. The product is to be delivered in one-gallon quantities to a facility in New Castle, Delaware, with a final delivery deadline of July 29, 2026. The terms are FOB Destination, meaning the contractor is responsible for all transportation costs and risks until the shipment reaches its destination. The contract mandates strict adherence to military and federal standards, including MIL-STD-129 for marking and labeling and MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging. Because the coating is classified as a hazardous material, the awardee must comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 for hazard communication, provide Safety Data Sheets, and ensure proper storage in cool, well-ventilated areas away from direct sunlight. Administrative requirements include electronic invoicing through Wide Area WorkFlow and compliance with various FAR and DFARS clauses regarding equal opportunity, cyber incident reporting, and the prohibition of hexavalent chromium. Inspection and acceptance of the supplies will be conducted by the government at the destination.
