Hisco Inc 55 Veronica Ave, Somerset, NJ 08873-3448 This is a custom color requirement using a specific base compound.

The Government intends to solicit and negotiate directly with Hisco, Inc under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000.
