Surface Coating and Finishing (Phosphate, CARC, Dry Film Lubricant)

The contract calls for the application of specialized surface coatings to telescope mount components, specifically a heavy phosphate coating meeting MIL-DTL-16232 standards, a Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC), and a dry film lubricant conforming to MIL-PRF-46010. These coatings must be applied with strict adherence to military specifications, including process validation and required testing to ensure performance, durability, and compatibility under operational conditions. The work involves precise surface preparation, coating application, and verification protocols to meet exacting military requirements for corrosion resistance, chemical defense, and low-friction motion in critical mechanical systems. This is a small business set-aside subcontract under the NAICS code 332812, with a response deadline of August 17, 2026, and is issued by the Department of Defense through the W6QK Acc- Dta office. The solicitation is open exclusively to small businesses as defined by the SBA, and the performance location is not specified, implying flexibility in facility selection as long as requirements are met. The coating processes must be fully documented and validated, with testing results provided to confirm compliance with all technical specifications and military standards.
