Total Small Business Set-Aside: 87A Test Tank resurface/repair

The Navy's Naval Surface Warfare Center in Panama City Beach, Florida, is seeking small business contractors to repair and refurbish an in-ground test tank located in Building 528. The tank, approximately 10 feet in diameter and 12 feet deep, has experienced deterioration of its inner surface, making it unsuitable for Navy testing purposes. To extend the lifespan of the tank and reduce future maintenance costs, the project involves lining the existing structure with a carbon/epoxy skin that can withstand the thermal stresses of heating and cooling cycles, while maintaining the tank's original size. The top three feet of the tank, which is raised and surrounded by a concrete deck, will also be included in the repair scope. This procurement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238990, with a size standard of $19 million, emphasizing opportunities for qualified small businesses. The solicitation was posted on June 11, 2025, with a response deadline of June 14, 2025. Interested contractors are advised to review the full solicitation, including the statement of work, provisions, clauses, and wage determinations. The contract aims to ensure the tank's structural integrity and operational readiness, supporting Navy testing activities.
