Supply of Pollution Control Boom Materials

The contract is for the supply of new pollution containment boom units that must meet strict federal standards for durability, oil resistance, and resilience under tidal conditions. These units are intended for use in environmental response operations and must be manufactured to ensure long-term performance in demanding marine environments. The requirement is issued as a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside designation, meaning only small businesses certified by the Small Business Administration are eligible to bid, promoting economic opportunity for qualified small firms. The NAICS code 326199 indicates the work falls under other plastic product manufacturing, aligning with the production of specialized polymer-based containment systems. The opportunity was posted on July 20, 2026, with a firm deadline for responses on August 7, 2026, at 7:00 PM. Performance will be based at Alameda, California, with the zip code 94501, and the contracting entity is the Department of Homeland Security through its Base Alameda office. All materials must comply with federal specifications for environmental containment and will likely require testing and validation prior to delivery. Bidders must be able to demonstrate capacity to meet technical requirements, production timelines, and quality assurance protocols necessary for deployment in critical response scenarios.
