This is a brand-name procurement for commercial abrasive blast media items that meet specific manufacturing and quality standards. The Coast Guard requires all items to demonstrate clear traceability to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Archer Daniels Midland, through their authorized distributor Midvale Group, Inc., and vendors must provide Certificates of Conformance per FAR clause 52.246-15.

Pricing must remain effective for 120 days following solicitation closure, and quotations are due by February 18, 2026.
This is an unrestricted solicitation with no small business set-aside, and all responsible sources may submit quotations. The procurement is for nine containers of part number M85891-77-2050, with a firm-fixed-price purchase order anticipated for award. Delivery is required within 60 days after receipt of order to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, with F.O.B. destination terms.

The procurement applies the NAICS code 327910 (Abrasive Product Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 900 employees, and the rationale for other-than-full-and-open competition has been provided per FAR requirements.
