Surface Engineering & Alloy Company, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in St. Petersburg, Florida, was awarded a $57,570 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Naval Sea Systems Command on September 10, 2025, for the procurement of welding electrodes. The contract calls for the delivery of MIL-70S-2 Type Form 6 welding electrodes (3,000 pounds total) with specifications of 0.093" outside diameter and 36" length, packaged in 10-pound containers. Performance will be completed in St. Petersburg, with final delivery to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington by February 11, 2026. This is an unrestricted commercial item procurement with no small business set-aside designation, though the awardee qualifies as a small disadvantaged business.

Surface Engineering & Alloy Company specializes in manufacturing welding consumables and surface engineering solutions for defense applications and maintains an extensive contracting history with naval commands, including a significant $5 million blanket purchase agreement with the Naval Air Systems Command running through August 2027. The company's core expertise in metallurgy and military-grade materials positions it well to support the Navy's critical shipbuilding and maintenance operations across various platforms. The Naval Sea Systems Command, responsible for the design, development, and support of naval vessels and their combat systems, regularly procures specialized materials such as these welding electrodes to support fleet readiness and maintenance activities.
