Plate, Sheet, Strip, Foil, And Leaf

Product Service Code (PSC) 9515 covers plate, sheet, strip, foil, and leaf metal products across various materials including steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and specialized alloys. These products are critical for manufacturing, construction, aerospace, defense, and infrastructure applications. The materials come in diverse specifications, thicknesses, dimensions, and grades to meet precise technical requirements for different federal agency needs.

Federal Contract Awards in this PSC category predominantly involve the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Department of the Navy, and Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons, with contract values ranging from several hundred to approximately $200,000. Most awards are firm-fixed-price purchase orders with performance periods of 3-12 months. Frequently awarded vendors include small businesses like Specialized Metals, Raco Steel Co, Hurlen Corporation, and Manzi Metals Inc., often utilizing small business set-aside designations. Common places of performance include naval shipyards, military bases, and federal correctional facilities, with delivery locations spanning the continental United States, including Hawaii and naval installations.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities focus on procuring specific metal plates and sheets for various applications, including naval shipbuilding, military equipment maintenance, and infrastructure projects.
