8010 Epoxy, Fast Clad ER Epoxy Kit

The U.S. Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command is procuring specialized epoxy coating products through a brand name acquisition exclusively from The Sherwin-Williams Company or their authorized distributors. The solicitation seeks Fast Clad ER Epoxy Kit, Nova-Plate UHS Primer, Methyl Amyl Ketone, Reducer, and Armorseal Deck Gray Epoxy products across five contract line items with quantities ranging from 5 to 68 units. The procurement is justified as sole source due to specific requirements outlined in NAVSEA Standard Item 009-32, which mandates these particular coating products for naval equipment cleaning and painting processes. Authorized distributors must provide documentation from the original equipment manufacturer with their proposals, and all products must have at least 85% remaining shelf-life upon delivery. The solicitation closes on August 19, 2025, at 12:00 PM, with questions directed to the contracting officer via email.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside with specific preference for Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB). The anticipated award will be a firm fixed-price supply contract with delivery required by October 15, 2025, to the SRF and JRMC Yokosuka warehouse facility in Japan. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the available documentation, the procurement involves multiple line items of specialized naval coating materials essential for maintaining naval equipment. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and comply with hazardous material labeling standards, with invoicing processed through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system. The sole source justification indicates that only Sherwin-Williams products meet the technical specifications required for this naval application, effectively limiting competition to the manufacturer and their authorized distribution network.
