Paint system

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is soliciting proposals for a Paint System under solicitation number SPMYM225Q2221, specifically seeking 30 five-gallon cans of heavy metals free (HMF) antifouling ship hull special purpose topside paint manufactured by Sherwin Williams. The paint must meet MIL-PRF-24647E standards, be black in color, have a maximum VOC of 400 g/L, and maintain 85% minimum shelf life upon receipt. Key requirements include providing a Certificate of Compliance for each lot shipped, submitting electronic invoices through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), and compliance with NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity standards unless the items qualify as Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS). Contractors must also provide manufacturer name, country of origin, and lead time information. The solicitation must be completed in its entirety and submitted via email to rosalie.aranzanso@dla.mil by 1:00 PM on July 16, 2025, with the government reserving the right to make a single award based on price and other factors serving the best interest of the government.

This procurement is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns, though the solicitation documents also reference an 8(a) small business set-aside designation. No specific incumbent contractors are mentioned in the solicitation materials. While no specific contract value is provided, the procurement involves a relatively small quantity of 30 five-gallon paint cans with delivery required by September 11, 2025. The place of performance is Bremerton, Washington, specifically at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & IMF Hazardous Receiving facility. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 325510 for Paint and Coating Manufacturing and PSC code 8010 for Paints, Dopes, Varnishes, and Related Products. Given the short timeframe between posting and submission deadline, this appears to be an urgent procurement requirement with next-day response expectations.
