Quality Insulators, Inc.

Quality Insulators, Inc., a small business based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, manufactures specialized thermal insulation and exhaust system components for Coast Guard vessels as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation competing exclusively under small-business designations and holds sole-source status as the original equipment manufacturer for exhaust port elbow lagging and related thermal lagging components for 45-foot Ridged-Hull Inflatable Boats (RBM vessels).

Quality Insulators operates with a monolithic customer footprint: all thirteen awards in the source data come from the U.S. Coast Guard, with a combined potential value of $178 thousand. The vendor's recent activity shows three firm fixed-price purchase orders within the past twelve months. The most recent, awarded September 16, 2026, is a $32,700 order for fifty units of lagging exhaust port elbow components (NSN 2990-01-645-3286) for delivery by October 31, 2026, under FAR 12.102(a) and Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1, restricted to the original equipment manufacturer due to unavailability of technical data for equivalent assessment. A March 27, 2025 purchase order valued at $22,340.15 procured exhaust port elbow lagging with a delivery window through November 20, 2025. An earlier September 24, 2024 order, worth $17,751, covered thirty lagging exhaust starboard parts for 45-foot RBM vessels, delivered to Curtis Bay Industrial Area, Baltimore, Maryland by November 7, 2024.

The vendor's award distribution skews toward the PSC 5640 (Wallboard, Building Paper, and Thermal Insulation Materials) and primary NAICS 332996 (Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing) classifications for marine exhaust system components. Activity is sparse and flat—two awards each in 2020 and 2021, then one award per year in 2024, 2025, and 2026. One award carrying $33 thousand in combined potential value faces completion in the next twenty-four months. Quality Insulators does not hold contracts on government-wide vehicles, GWACs, or blanket purchase agreements; all work flows through direct Coast Guard purchase orders to the original equipment manufacturer.
