About the company

Automatic Coating LIMITED USA, a for-profit small business manufacturer headquartered in Suffolk, Virginia, delivers precision coating and transducer tube assembly fabrication and refurbishment services to the Department of Homeland Security, Department of the Navy, and the U.S. Coast Guard as a prime contractor (90% of recent awards) and subcontractor. The vendor competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on its largest vehicle and places significant work under full-and-open delivery orders with the Coast Guard and Naval commands.

Automatic Coating LIMITED USA is a subsidiary of parent company Automatic Coating LIMITED, a Canadian manufacturer of goods. The vendor specializes in two distinct capability streams grounded in its recent federal work: watertight closure preservation and repair services for Coast Guard fleet cutters, performed via surface preparation and fluidized-bed powder coating per Coast Guard specifications, and fabrication and refurbishment of TR-343 and TR-343A transducer tube assemblies for naval sonar systems (AN/SQS-53C Hull Mounted Sonar Array Subsystem and AN/SQQ-89(V) Anti-Submarine Warfare System). Representative prime work includes a $8.25 million single-award Total Small Business Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Coast Guard (awarded February 2026, completion January 2031) for watertight closure preservation and repair across fleet cutter operations; a $13.16 million single-award small business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract with Naval Sea Systems Command (awarded December 2024, completion December 2029) for TR-343 and TR-343A fabrication and refurbishment; and a $1.5 million delivery order for TR-343 transducer tube assemblies issued by Naval Supply Systems Command in January 2026.

Customer concentration is dominated by the Navy, which accounts for 100% of the combined potential value split between Naval Sea Systems Command ($13.5 million across 5 awards) and Naval Supply Systems Command ($3.1 million across 3 awards), while the Coast Guard holds 22 awards ($8.6 million combined potential value) placed primarily as smaller purchase orders and task orders under the Coast Guard's watertight closure preservation IDC. The vendor holds two significant parent vehicles: the Coast Guard's Indefinite Delivery Contract 70Z08026DMECP0001 (9 task orders, $139 thousand combined potential value in watertight closure preservation) and Naval Sea Systems Command's Indefinite Delivery Contract N0016425DGP83 (4 task orders, $3.4 million combined potential value in transducer assembly work). Activity has grown from five awards in 2024 to thirteen in 2025 and twelve through October 2026, with two awards (combined potential value $1.5 million) reaching completion within the next twenty-four months.

In its subcontractor role, Automatic Coating LIMITED USA delivers services to BAE Systems Maritime Solutions Norfolk Inc. on USS LABOON destroyer tender work and serves as a sub-recipient on a National Center For Manufacturing Sciences Inc. federal research grant for optimizing materials and procedures to improve operational maintenance, readiness, and sustainment. The vendor's award footprint is concentrated in metal coating and ship repair NAICS and PSC categories — 15 awards fall under metal coating services to manufacturers and 14 under ship building and repairing, with maintenance and repair of ship and marine equipment dominating PSC activity. Place of performance is primarily Suffolk, Virginia, with subordinate work in Chesapeake, Virginia and performance at customer locations including Coast Guard homeports and Naval shipyards.

SBA capabilities narrative

ACL has developed the patented Tidal Coat Fluidized bed Corrosion protection system. ACL's "Tidal Coat Fluidized bed" system is widely deployed by U.S. navy destroyers as well as the Canadian Kingston, Halifax and Artic Offshore Patrol System ships. The "tidal coat" system is a dual immersion polymer powder process that provides an unprecedented five-year limited warranty on the coatings. These pieces however will provide a ten plus year life cycle on parts. The "tidal coat" system is an extremely durable fusion bonded multi-layer process designed to encapsulate the weldment or casting and uniformly cover inaccessible areas where all other coatings fail. This process has greatly reduced corrosion, saving millions of dollars in maintenance costs. In addition, ACL has successfully coated thousands of undersea warfare components. Some of these components, which are constantly submerged in seawater, have been in use for over 20 years.
