Rubber Fabricated Materials

Product Service Code (PSC) 9320-P, Rubber Fabricated Materials, encompasses a diverse range of rubber-based products and components used across federal government applications. These materials include rubber sheets, seals, gaskets, strips, blocks, tapes, and specialized rubber fabrications designed for various mechanical, industrial, and engineering purposes. The products serve critical functions in military, naval, aerospace, and infrastructure contexts, supporting equipment maintenance, safety, and operational reliability.

Federal contract awards under this PSC predominantly feature small business vendors supplying rubber components to defense agencies, particularly the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). Awards typically range from $500 to $250,000, with most being firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders. Frequently awarded entities include Midwest Fiberglas Fabricators, Buckeye Rubber Products, Corgistics Inc., and Blade Industrial Products, often qualifying as small disadvantaged, women-owned, or veteran-owned businesses. The majority of awards target rubber sheets, seals, and adhesive tapes, with performance locations primarily in Michigan, California, and Ohio. Approximately 60-70% of awards are set aside for small businesses, reflecting federal procurement priorities.

Recent federal contract opportunities under PSC 9320-P focus on specialized rubber fabrications for military and infrastructure applications. Key solicitations include replacement fenders for lock and dam systems, air drop dummies, elevation hub seals for missile systems, and shock-absorbing flooring for child development centers. The opportunities span multiple agencies including the Army Corps of Engineers, Air Force, Navy, and Department of Homeland Security, with performance locations predominantly in the continental United States. Most opportunities are designated as total small business set-asides, targeting rubber product manufacturers with specific technical and quality requirements for critical governmental infrastructure and equipment maintenance.
