Refractories And Fire Surfacing Materials

Product Service Code (PSC) 9350 covers refractories and fire surfacing materials, primarily focusing on specialized bricks, mortars, and thermal barrier components used in high-temperature and industrial applications. These materials are critical for maintaining structural integrity and thermal resistance in various military, aerospace, and industrial settings, including equipment maintenance, facility construction, and specialized research environments.

Federal contract awards under this PSC category demonstrate consistent procurement of refractory materials, predominantly by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Department of Defense agencies. Contract values typically range from approximately $1,600 to $73,800, with most awards being firm fixed-price purchase orders lasting between 3-12 months. Frequent awardees include Unlimited Manufacturing Service Inc., a woman-owned small business, Rev-Cap Company Inc., and other small disadvantaged businesses. Most contracts are not set aside, though some utilize total small business designations. Delivery locations span military bases, industrial facilities, and government research centers, with a focus on supporting military vehicle, aircraft, and weapons system maintenance programs.

While the provided data does not include specific federal contract opportunities, the existing contract awards suggest ongoing requirements for refractory bricks, insulating materials, castable mixes, and specialized thermal barrier components. Potential future opportunities are likely to emerge from agencies like the DLA, Department of Navy, NASA, and Department of Homeland Security, targeting maintenance, construction, and research applications that demand high-temperature resistant materials.
