Supply of Marine-Grade Paint and Coatings

The contract calls for the supply of marine-grade anti-fouling and protective coatings that comply with EPA regulations, specifically for use during drydock repainting operations on vessel hulls and superstructures. These coatings must meet strict environmental standards to ensure safe application and reduce harmful impacts on marine ecosystems. The requirement is part of a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small businesses qualified under SBA guidelines are eligible to bid, promoting participation from smaller enterprises in federal procurement. The NAICS code 424690 confirms the nature of the supply as wholesale trade of paint, varnish, and related materials. The solicitation was posted on July 16, 2026, with a response deadline set for August 7, 2026, providing potential vendors approximately four weeks to prepare and submit proposals. While the contracting agency is the Department of Commerce, specifically NOAA, no specific office address or point of contact details are provided in the data. The place of performance is not specified, indicating that delivery may be coordinated based on operational needs across multiple locations where NOAA vessels undergo drydock maintenance. Vendors must ensure their products are compliant, logistically viable, and capable of meeting the rigorous demands of marine environmental protection standards.
