About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center has issued a Special Notice inviting contractors to attend an on-site walkthrough at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, for an aircraft coatings and sealants procurement opportunity. This notice specifically targets contractors who previously responded to sources sought announcements or attended Coatings and Sealants Industry Days held on March 19, 2025, though other interested contractors are also welcome to participate. The walkthrough is scheduled for June 24th at 10:00 AM Mountain Time at Hill AFB, Utah. The opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 325510 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing) and PSC code 8010 (Paints, Dopes, Varnishes, and Related Products). The procurement involves comprehensive coatings and sealants for multiple aircraft platforms including C-130, F-16, A-10, and other military aircraft, with an estimated total quantity of 56,697 units across various kit configurations and specifications.
The primary purpose of the on-site walkthrough is to provide contractors with direct visibility of the physical locations where coatings and sealants will be delivered and used, enabling them to gain additional knowledge of the scope of effort for this procurement. Contractors planning to attend must provide specific information by June 17, 2025, including names of attendees, dates of birth, and driver's license numbers with states of issue to facilitate base access. Participation is limited to three or fewer attendees per contractor, and specific building and map location information will be provided once responses are received. The procurement encompasses a wide range of technical coatings and sealants, including primers, topcoats, rain erosion protection, walkway coatings, and specialized coatings for different aircraft models and paint schemes from manufacturers like Hentzen, PPG, Deft, CAAP, and Akzo. The walkthrough date is subject to change prior to the June 17th deadline, and contractors must meet the response deadline to participate in this Phase 1 procurement opportunity.
