Modification Of Equipment- Hardware And Abrasives

PSC Category K053 encompasses modification of equipment, specifically focusing on hardware and abrasives. This category covers a wide range of technical services and products related to equipment alteration, surface treatment, and specialized manufacturing processes. The services include metal finishing, coating applications, tooling modifications, and equipment maintenance or destruction. These modifications often involve precision techniques such as diamond grit applications, poly-ond coatings, and specialized surface treatments for industrial and defense-related equipment.

The federal contract awards under this PSC category demonstrate a concentration of naval system command procurement, with contracts primarily awarded by Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), and other naval procurement units. Contract values range from approximately $3,700 to $60,000, with most being firm fixed-price purchase orders. Small businesses are frequently engaged, with several contracts designated as total small business set-asides. The awarded work includes services such as hard drive destruction, lap tooling with diamond grit applications, metal finishing services, poly-ond coating of steel components, and equipment maintenance. Performance locations appear to span multiple naval facilities, including Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and various naval system command locations.

No specific federal contract opportunities were included in the provided data set for PSC Category K053. The summary is therefore based exclusively on the existing federal contract awards, which highlight the category's focus on precision equipment modification and maintenance services for naval and defense-related applications.
