This is a Sole Source Justification for a firm-fixed-price construction contract awarded to Atlantic Industrial Coating Limited Liability Company by the Department of Interior's National Park Service, Denver Service Center. The contract concerns construction services for NAMA 291052 Pool Lining at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, with an estimated value of $10,256,576.

The work scope includes concrete surface repairs and installation of a multi-component Rhino Linings polyurea coating system. Specific tasks include shot blasting and sandblasting, crack repair, joint removal and treatment, application of Rhino CCW Polyurea and Rhino 11-35 Polyurea as elastic layers, application of Rhino 406 Epoxy Primer, installation of Rhino Pipeliner 5000 polyurea to 100 mils thickness, coping joint sealing, and quality verification testing. Mobilization is scheduled for April 1-3, 2026, with in-pool work beginning April 6 and substantial completion required by May 22, 2026. The justification for sole source award cites FAR 6.103-2 (Unusual and Compelling Urgency), noting that the narrow spring environmental window and strict temperature and humidity requirements for concrete curing and multi-stage coating installation are incompatible with competitive procurement timelines of 10-15 weeks. The contractor's unique qualifications include demonstrated expertise with specialized Rhino Linings systems, heated plural-component spray equipment, precise sequencing capabilities, and immediate mobilization capacity. Market research confirmed that only a limited pool of contractors possess the required manufacturer affiliation and technical expertise. The government determined pricing as fair and reasonable based on historical coating system costs, comparable prior awards, and proprietary manufacturer pricing.
