Maxi-Blast Inc.

Maxi-Blast Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business and for-profit manufacturer of goods based in South Bend, Indiana, specializes in the production and supply of blast media products used for aircraft and equipment maintenance within the Department of Defense. The company, which has been registered in the System for Award Management since February 2002, manufactures non-abrasive plastic blast media and related abrasive materials that serve as essential alternatives to traditional sandblasting and chemical cleaning techniques. Maxi-Blast Inc. has established itself as a critical supplier to the U.S. Air Force, with an extensive history of providing blast media products that support the Air Force's weapon system sustainment programs and aircraft maintenance readiness activities.

Through its federal contract awards, Maxi-Blast Inc. has consistently supplied various types of blast media products to support aircraft maintenance operations, primarily at Hill Air Force Base in Utah and the Ogden Air Logistics Complex in Indiana. The company has provided acrylic type V (20/30) blast media, glass 140-230 grit materials, and other specialized abrasive products used for surface preparation, corrosion removal, and cleaning processes essential to maintaining Air Force weapon systems and equipment. All of Maxi-Blast's federal contract awards have been issued by the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, a subordinate unit of the U.S. Air Force Materiel Command, with the majority structured as blanket purchase agreement (BPA) calls with firm fixed-price pricing. The contract awards have predominantly been designated as total small business set-asides, supporting the federal government's commitment to small business procurement, though a limited number of awards have been issued without set-aside designations. Individual task orders under these BPA arrangements have ranged from less than $400 to $152,000, demonstrating the company's role in providing both routine supply orders and larger-scale procurement activities. Maxi-Blast Inc. has consistently performed as the prime contractor on these awards, with no indication of major subcontractors being utilized in the fulfillment of contract obligations.

Maxi-Blast Inc. currently holds a significant Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Ogden Air Logistics Complex that was awarded on March 24, 2025, with a substantial ceiling value of $9,900,000 and a performance period extending through March 23, 2035. This multiple-award BPA contract is structured to procure various types of blast media, including acrylic type V (20/30) and glass 140-230 grit materials, for use in aircraft and equipment maintenance operations at Hill Air Force Base. The BPA functions as a flexible ordering mechanism that enables the Ogden Air Logistics Complex to issue task orders on an as-needed basis to support the Air Force's weapon system sustainment responsibilities at its maintenance depots. This contract vehicle consolidates Maxi-Blast Inc.'s longstanding relationship with the Air Force, allowing for efficient procurement of critical blast media supplies that directly support the maintenance and operational readiness of Air Force aircraft and equipment.
