Naval Sea Systems Command awarded a purchase order to A & A Co Inc., a small business, for $154,836 on August 4, 2025, under a Total Small Business set-aside for radar mast thermal spray restoration services. Work is performed at the contractor's facility in South Plainfield, New Jersey. The order covers thermal spray restoration of AN/BPS-16 radar mast components for SSN 774 Class submarines, including pre-machining, liquid penetrant testing, plasma spray repair with bond and finish coats, finish grinding, and sealant application. The requirement stems from a June 2025 solicitation (due June 30, 2025) posted by Naval Supply Systems Command through Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility for certified NAVSEA thermal spray deposition services meeting SUBSAFE and Level 1 quality control standards. Ultimate completion is scheduled for April 24, 2026.
