PRC - Desoto International, Inc.

PRC - Desoto International, Inc. Asc-Seattle Division, doing business as Prc-Desoto International, Inc., is a manufacturer of specialty aerospace and defense coatings, potting compounds, molding compounds, and sealing materials that sells primarily to the U.S. Navy and Air Force as a full-and-open prime contractor. A subsidiary of PPG Industries, Inc., the Woodinville, Washington-based company operates across NAICS 325510 (Adhesive Manufacturing) and 325520 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing), competing without set-aside designations and serving 48 distinct federal agencies across a portfolio of roughly 5,800 awards valued at $42 million combined potential value, with $28.8 million obligated to date.

The vendor's recent activity concentrates on Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and Air Combat Command (ACC) work. The top three customers by potential value diverge sharply from volume leaders: GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates dollar value ($11 million across 801 awards) but primarily through high-volume, low-dollar-per-award supply orders; Department of the Air Force Space Command places the most individual orders (1,339 awards) but anchors only $4.4 million combined value; Air Combat Command (29 awards, $6 million) and Naval Sea Systems Command (236 awards, $3.1 million) represent more strategic relationships. The top five customers account for 66 percent of combined potential value. Recent named work includes a $74,365.92 firm fixed-price contract with Air Force Materiel Command (awarded September 5, 2025) for FMS-2026 Form II Type 1 spectrally selective coating with ultimate completion in September 2030; a $14,630.76 delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command (February 25, 2026) for polyurethane potting compound with freezer delivery to Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Keyport; and a $5,938.56 purchase order from U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces (December 30, 2025) for molding and potting compound.

The vendor holds two significant indefinite delivery vehicles anchoring its federal footprint. A $5 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Air Combat Command for spraylat specialty coating materials runs through July 2028 and has generated multiple BPA calls ranging from $131,460 to $241,641 for aircraft preservation coatings at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. A $497,584.08 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Naval Sea Systems Command for molding compounds runs through January 2028 and has generated dozens of delivery orders and purchase orders in the $3,000 to $14,200 range to support shipbuilding and naval maintenance. The vendor also holds five high-volume GSA IDCs (GS06FP0099, GS06FW0047, GS06FR0002, GS06FK0024, GS06FU0027) collectively carrying 2,633 task orders and $13.6 million in combined potential value, though individual task orders under GSA vehicles tend toward smaller dollar values typical of supply schedules. Recent activity shows modest decline: ten awards in 2025 and one award year-to-date in 2026 versus 16 in 2024 and 17 in 2023, with no significant recompete cliff visible in the next twenty-four months.

The vendor subcontracts minimally — the source identifies one sub-award under The Boeing Company for transfer of government-furnished property (April 25, 2024) — and operates primarily as a direct supplier rather than a teaming participant. As a PPG subsidiary, PRC - Desoto leverages parent-company manufacturing scale and compliance credentials to deliver materials meeting stringent military specifications for thermal management, potting, sealing, and strippable aircraft coatings across defense infrastructure maintenance and shipbuilding programs.
