About this opportunity
The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division at China Lake, California, has awarded a sole-source Firm Fixed Price contract to Intumescents Associates Group (IAG) LLC of Houston, Texas, for thermal coating application systems and material, with an estimated total value of $2,581,952 if all options are funded.
The justification, citing 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), rests on IAG being the only manufacturer of the proprietary NavCoat thermal protection coating formulation and the only source capable of providing equivalent spray application equipment. A Sources Sought/Request for Information posted on SAM.gov on August 13, 2025, and closed on August 28, 2025, received only IAG's response. A subsequent synopsis posted on November 20, 2025, with a response date of December 4, 2025, received no responses.
IAG will install two thermal coating application systems and provide one kit of NavCoat WC Epoxy PFP coating to support Low-Rate Initial Production proof of concept and legacy FMA260 thermal coating application for PMA-201 requirements. The work includes system build, programming, transportation, installation, setup, testing, and on-site personnel training. Both systems are stand-alone with no government IT integration required. The award was issued July 9, 2026, under contract N6893626P5242 and FAR 13.5 Simplified Acquisition authority.
