About this award

The Naval Sea Systems Command awarded a $113.5K firm fixed-price purchase order to Washington Mills Electro Minerals Corporation for the supply of virgin aluminum oxide abrasive grit under a total small business set-aside. The contract, awarded on January 24, 2025, calls for the delivery of 50 bags (totaling 100,000 lbs) of SHOPSTORE Blastite brand #24 mesh blasting media specifically authorized for use in naval ship repair operations at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. Washington Mills, a small disadvantaged business manufacturer headquartered in Niagara Falls, New York, was selected as the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror based on competitive quotes submitted in response to the Defense Logistics Agency Maritime's solicitation. Delivery is required within eight weeks of award, with an ultimate completion date of March 27, 2025.

The specialized abrasive grit is critical to naval shipyard maintenance schedules and has been uniquely authorized for use at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard due to its proven performance characteristics. The solicitation emphasized that alternative products would be prohibitively expensive and potentially disruptive to ongoing ship repair operations. Washington Mills' selection reflects its demonstrated capability as a manufacturer of advanced mineral and abrasive products for government applications, with prior contract awards from both the Naval Sea Systems Command and NASA. Performance will occur in Niagara Falls, New York, with the final product delivered to Hawaii in accordance with strict packaging and labeling requirements, including heat-treated wood pallets meeting international standards and specific product markings.
