International Paint LLC

International Paint LLC, doing business as Akzo Nobel Aerospace Coatings, manufactures specialty coatings and paints for military, aerospace, and industrial applications and sells to the federal government primarily as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) competing in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations. The vendor is a for-profit limited liability company and subsidiary of multinational AkzoNobel, headquartered in Waukegan, Illinois, with federal contracting activity spanning from 2005 through April 2026.

The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated in defense and military logistics. The top five funding agencies by award count—Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (1,121 awards, $18 million combined potential value), Department of the Air Force Materiel Command (1,080 awards, $5.1 million), Department of the Air Force Air National Guard (1,345 awards, $560 thousand), United States Marine Corps (912 awards, $371 thousand), and Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (459 awards, $209 thousand)—account for 56% of awards. When ranked by potential value, GSA Federal Acquisition Service leads with 190 awards worth $29.7 million combined, followed by DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment at $18 million. This split signals that while DLA drives volume through small purchase orders, GSA Schedule work anchors the dollar value. The vendor has worked with 70 distinct federal agencies over the portfolio lifetime.

Capability scope centers on polyurethane coatings, epoxy primers, epoxy resin, enamel coatings, and paint thinners for military equipment maintenance, repair, and new construction. Representative prime work includes a $53,274 epoxy primer coating delivery order with DLA's Aviation division (awarded June 2025), a $17,100 polyurethane coating purchase order with DLA Construction and Equipment (awarded August 2024), and a $53,081 AEROFLEET Training and VR Classroom equipment order with Air Force Materiel Command (awarded September 2024). Purchase orders typically range from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars and carry firm fixed-price terms with no set-aside designations.

The vendor operates under five principal parent vehicles. GSA Schedule Blanket Purchase Agreement GS06F96180 carries 1,715 task orders with $692 thousand combined potential value; BPA GS06F5ANBL places 969 task orders for $37 thousand; BPA GS06F5AZNB has 409 task orders at $313 thousand; BPA GS06F96353 includes 277 task orders worth $67 thousand; and DLA Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE8ES18D0002 holds 264 task orders totaling $836 thousand. These vehicles represent the vendor's primary delivery channels to federal customers.

Recent activity shows moderate year-over-year volatility—35 awards in 2022, declining to 13 in 2023, rebounding to 57 in 2024, and slowing to 30 in 2025 with 7 awards through April 2026. The vendor's award footprint spans 8,782 total transactions (prime and sub combined) with combined potential value of $59.8 million and $46.1 million obligated (77% burn rate), indicating steady execution across a high-volume, low-unit-value portfolio characteristic of coating-product distribution to military logistics.

In its subcontractor role—representing 1% of recent awards—International Paint LLC supplies polyurethane coatings to ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC on DLA task orders (awarded through March 2025) and provides coating solutions to National Steel and Shipbuilding Company on naval vessel construction programs including T-AO tanker work, Expeditionary Sea Base (ESB) projects, and engineering change proposals (awarded as recently as January 2025). The National Steel subcontract work spans new construction and provisioning efforts, underscoring the vendor's deep integration into the Navy's shipbuilding supply chain alongside its DLA spot-purchase prime business.
