Emerald Paint & Coatings Inc.

Emerald Paint & Coatings Inc., a woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Mount Vernon, Washington, supplies specialized marine and industrial coatings to the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor on 181 small-dollar purchase orders and blanket task orders, all competed full-and-open with no set-aside designations used across the recent footprint.

The vendor's customer base is highly concentrated within the Department of the Navy. The top five Navy commands account for 96% of recent awards and 91% of combined potential value, led by Naval Sea Systems Command (125 awards, $474 thousand combined potential value), Naval Supply Systems Command (23 awards, $100 thousand), and United States Pacific Fleet Forces (18 awards, $42 thousand). The distribution between award count and potential value is consistent across the Navy accounts — volume and dollars both track to NAVSEA as the primary customer. Emerald Paint & Coatings places task orders under a single Navy-issued Indefinite Delivery Contract (GS06FP0108), which anchors 139 task orders valued at $410 thousand combined potential value.

The vendor's capability footprint is narrowly defined. Emerald Paint & Coatings manufactures and delivers non-skid primers, epoxy primers, floor coatings, and coating compounds for naval maintenance and vessel operations. Representative recent prime awards include a $4,045.86 firm fixed-price purchase order from NAVSEA for epoxy primer coating (completed August 2024), a $35,193 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from NAVSEA for coating compound (completed February 2024), and a $49,416.77 firm fixed-price purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command for floor coating services (completed October 2022). The source material classifies 169 awards under Paint and Coating Manufacturing (primary NAICS), with secondary classification as Paint, Varnish, and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers on a small subset.

Award activity is episodic and lightweight. The vendor has received only 7 awards across the past five years (2021–2026), with combined potential value of $681 thousand and combined obligations of $631 thousand. All 181 awards in the footprint are prime purchase orders and task orders; the vendor has no subcontract exposure and does not partner with larger primes. The vendor has served ten distinct Navy and Defense Finance and Accounting Service customer commands, but concentration on NAVSEA is overwhelming — 96% of awards and 91% of dollars flow from that single command.
