Gnap, LLC

Gnap, LLC, doing business as Surface Prep, is a small-business prime contractor based in Buford, Georgia, that supplies industrial abrasive blasting materials, metal finishing equipment, cleaning systems, and related industrial services to military maintenance and sustainment operations. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across its footprint and operates as a limited liability partnership.

Surface Prep's customer base concentrates heavily on the Department of the Army Materiel Command's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, which accounts for 98 of the 148 total awards in the source footprint and $8.4 million of the $14.9 million combined potential value. That 80% award concentration underscores Surface Prep's position as a dedicated supplier to Army equipment maintenance operations. The second and third largest customers by potential value—Defense Logistics Agency Aviation ($4.1 million across two awards) and the Georgia Army National Guard ($807 thousand)—are separated from TACOM's scale by an order of magnitude. The vendor has worked with 21 distinct federal agencies, including the Marine Corps, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard, but TACOM dominates both volume and dollars.

Surface Prep's recent activity runs at a sustainable but modest clip: five awards in 2022, eight in 2023, eleven in 2024, and eight in 2025, with one award recorded in early 2026. The vendor holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with TACOM (W911KF24D0001) valued at $1.17 million through July 31, 2029, under which seven task orders have been placed for plastic media blast materials, generating $261 thousand in combined potential value. Delivery orders against this IDC run at firm fixed-price ceilings between $36,800 and $37,938, issued on a recurring basis to support Army equipment refurbishment.

Representative prime work includes a $2.27 million definitive contract with TACOM in June 2022 to remove and replace three dust collectors at Anniston Army Depot; a $3.25 million purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation in June 2022 for an automated cleaning-line upgrade at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina; and an $838 thousand order from DLA Aviation in May 2023 to replace four V-22 aircraft cleaning lines at Fleet Readiness Center East. Smaller recurring awards supply plastic blast media (aluminum oxide, steel shot, Type II urea formulations), abrasive materials, industrial vacuum systems, high-pressure washers, and dust-collection equipment. The most recent award, from February 2026, is a $104 thousand definitive contract with TACOM for a walk-in oven at Anniston Army Depot.

The vendor's NAICS and PSC footprint reflects this equipment-and-materials focus: the top codes are Abrasive Product Manufacturing (33 awards), Industrial Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (14 awards), and Miscellaneous Maintenance and Repair Shop Specialized Equipment (31 awards by PSC), with secondary concentration in cleaning compounds, metal finishing equipment, and machine tools. Surface Prep also holds positions on the Federal Supply Schedule (GS00F87750), with two task orders recorded, and on agency-specific IDCs with the Army and DLA. The vendor has one documented subcontract award, dated April 2024, as a sub to Consolidated Nuclear Security on the Y-12 National Security Complex management-and-operating contract.

Combined potential value across all awards sits at $14.9 million with $14.5 million obligated (97% realization), indicating strong execution and payment collection on awarded work. Surface Prep's award profile is entirely concentrated on equipment, materials, and services for military depot operations and aircraft maintenance, with no civilian-agency exposure or diversification beyond small-business set-aside procurement categories.

DeLong Equipment Company manufactures and distributes equipment, abrasives and supplies used in the metal finishing industry or by anyone who is in the mechanical finishing industry.
