The Department of the Army, through Army Contracting Command APG at Tobyhanna Division, has published a Special Notice regarding a sole source supply contract for Coating, Polyurethane, Single Component, 686A Tan 33446. The government intends to award this contract directly to Hentzen Coatings Inc, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, based on the company's demonstrated capability to meet specific performance requirements.

Contractors interested in responding must submit their letters of intent by the December 5, 2025 deadline. The contract will be conducted under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees applicable to the NAICS classification. While the government will evaluate any responses received, it retains sole discretion regarding whether to proceed with the sole source award or open the procurement to competition.
