About this opportunity

The US Army Corps of Engineers Rock Island District (MVR) intends to issue a solicitation for a multiple award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to supply paint primer, blasting media, and paint thinner materials. The primary application is to preserve surfaces of Lock and Dam Tainter Gates at the Mississippi River Project Service Base in Pleasant Valley, Iowa. Key contract requirements include that all paint formulas must be CERL (US Army Construction Engineering Research Lab) certified, with samples to be submitted within seven calendar days of contract award if not previously tested. Specific products required include Vinyl Zinc-Rich paint (Formula VZ-108d), White and Gray Vinyl Paint (Formula V-766e), MEK Paint Thinner (ASTM D740), and Coal Slag Media Black Diamond 1240 or equivalent. Delivery must occur within 12 calendar days after paint lab approval, and delivery personnel must be verified through E-Verify. The Pre-Solicitation Notice was posted on March 9, 2026, with the formal solicitation expected to be posted to PIEE and SAM.gov at a future date; this current notice is informational only and does not constitute a request for quotes or proposals.

The blasting media portion of this requirement is set aside for Small Business concerns under NAICS code 327910 (with a size standard of 900 employees or fewer), while the paint and coating manufacturing portion falls under NAICS 325510. The estimated contract value is $900,000 over a five-year period as a multiple award BPA. No incumbent contractors are identified in this pre-solicitation notice. Required materials include 5-gallon ready-mix containers for paint products, 5-gallon ready-use containers for paint thinner, and blasting media available in 4,000-pound sacks or bulk 25-ton truck quantities. All paint testing will be conducted at government expense, though contractors bear the cost of retests resulting from initial failures; pre-certified coatings are acceptable if certification documents are submitted to CERL, with certifications valid for up to one year from acceptance. The formal solicitation deadline for submission of quotes or proposals is April 9, 2026.
