8010 Epoxy, Fast Clad ER Epoxy Kit

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is procuring various epoxy coating kits and related materials through a Request for Quote (RFQ) for specialized marine coating applications. The procurement includes six line items totaling approximately 69 units of specific Sherwin-Williams brand products, including Fast Clad ER Epoxy Kits in white and haze gray, Dura Plate UHS OAP Epoxy Coating Kits, Seaguard 5000 HS Epoxy Coating Kits, and methyl amyl ketone thinner. This is a brand name requirement specifically limited to products from The Sherwin-Williams Company or their authorized distributors, as these materials are required for shipboard applications where compatibility with existing coating systems is critical. The evaluation will consider technical specifications, delivery date, price, and past performance with no specific order of importance. Quotes are due August 21, 2025 at 12:00 PM, with required delivery by October 15, 2025, and all communications must be conducted via email to the contracting officer.

This solicitation is set aside for Total Small Business concerns, though the attached documentation also references Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside requirements. The Sherwin-Williams Company is identified as the sole source manufacturer, with their authorized distributors eligible to participate as the only acceptable suppliers due to NAVSEA instruction requirements and product compatibility concerns with existing shipboard coating systems. The contract will be awarded on a firm fixed-price basis for supply-type services. All materials will be delivered to SRF and JRMC Yokosuka, Japan, supporting naval vessel maintenance operations at this strategic Pacific location. The procurement is justified as sole source because SRF JRMC currently uses Sherwin-Williams products in their cleaning and painting processes, requiring coating compatibility from the same manufacturer to maintain system integrity.
