This firm fixed-price contract was awarded by the Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC) to PPG Industries, Inc. Aerospace Division, doing business as Pinetree Consulting, to provide coated windshield repair sets and curing kits in support of the P-8A Poseidon Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft program. The contract has a ceiling value of $6,979.00 and a completion date of October 21, 2020.
The original solicitation was issued as a sole-source procurement due to the proprietary nature of the required items, which were designed by PPG to meet specific requirements for the Boeing 737-based P-8A aircraft. As the only manufacturer with the necessary technical expertise, PPG was awarded this contract without a set-aside designation. The coated windshield repair sets and curing kits are being delivered to support the U.S. Navy, Royal Australian Air Force, and potential future Foreign Military Sales customers. This contract is part of PPG's broader role as a major supplier of aircraft transparency components and specialty materials to the Department of Defense.
