Caap Co., Inc.

Caap Co., Inc., doing business as Caap Co Inc., is a for-profit coating manufacturer based in Milford, Connecticut, that supplies specialized protective coatings to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designations. The vendor competes in the commercial marketplace without SBA certifications and operates as a manufacturer of goods under primary NAICS 325910 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing) and PSC Paints, Dopes, Varnishes, And Related Products, delivering rain erosion protection coatings, polyurethane formulations, elastomeric coatings, spectral selective coatings, and chemical coating kits for military equipment maintenance and readiness.

Caap Co. has maintained federal registration since May 2001 and operates almost entirely as a prime contractor—2,498 of its 2,504 total awards are direct federal contracts. The vendor's portfolio spans paint and coating manufacturing (2,314 awards), adhesive manufacturing (104 awards), and support services across 44 federal customer agencies. Recent representative work includes a $61,000 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency's Troop Support Construction and Equipment division for 200 polyurethane coating kits under National Stock Number 8010015774143 (awarded January 21, 2026); an $80,520 DLA order for 264 units of polyurethane coating to DLA Distribution San Diego (October 21, 2025); a $64,400 firm fixed-price order from the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex for CAAPCOAT TYPE V antistatic fluoroelastomer coating (September 26, 2024); and a $90,220 DLA polyurethane coating delivery contract (September 23, 2022). Individual order values range from under one hundred dollars to over $400,000, with the majority falling in the low five-figure range.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Defense Logistics Agency. The DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment division dominates the portfolio with 446 awards carrying $4.5 million in combined potential value, accounting for approximately 48% of all awards by count. GSA Federal Acquisition Service follows with 122 awards and $1.7 million in potential value, driven by placement on multiple GSA Schedules BPAs. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command (202 awards, $1 million) and Department of the Air Force Space Command (201 awards, $558 thousand) round out the top four customer agencies. Combined, these four customers account for about 83% of total potential value.

Caap Co. places task orders under five primary GSA Schedule BPAs: Blanket Purchase Agreement GS06F73621 (126 task orders), GS06F06930 (102 task orders), GS06F1CPPP (100 task orders), GS06FB1862 (77 task orders), and Indefinite Delivery Contract GS06FW0039 (68 task orders). The vendor holds no position on government-wide IDIQs or GWACs; all work flows through DLA direct purchase orders and GSA Schedule task orders, making the vendor accessible only through those two procurement channels.

Activity has grown incrementally over the past five years—12 awards in 2022, 24 in 2023, 37 in 2024, and 36 in 2025—indicating stable, consistent volume growth without dramatic acceleration. The most recent award (March 11, 2026) was a $324 coating kit purchase order with an ultimate completion date of April 10, 2026, showing continued presence across the federal customer base. With 2,504 total awards spanning decades of procurement activity, Caap Co. operates at high transaction volume with relatively modest per-order values, positioning it as a reliable low-cost supplier rather than a prime systems integrator.

In its subcontractor role, Caap Co. has supported major defense primes including Lockheed Martin Corporation (material development activity on composite adhesives and elastomers, awarded January 1, 2025), AAR Government Services Inc. (aircraft parts and F-16 sustainment work for United States Air Force Europe), Amentum Services Inc. (paint and coating manufacturing under service contract act wage determinations), and Serco Inc. on prior engagements. These sub relationships represent less than 1% of total volume and serve as secondary revenue channels rather than strategic partnerships. The vendor's core business remains direct federal coating supply through DLA and GSA Schedule vehicles.
