Trion Coatings, LLC

Trion Coatings, LLC, a for-profit manufacturing company based in South Bend, Indiana, delivers advanced industrial coating technologies and precision engineering solutions to the U.S. Army as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime — 100% of its five recent federal awards are prime contracts — and competes for Army modernization work through Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) solicitations issued by Army Contracting Command - Watervliet Arsenal under Section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022.

Trion Coatings' capability portfolio centers on hexavalent chromium replacement coating technologies, electroplating and metal finishing systems, and advanced manufacturing equipment for the Defense Manufacturing Base. Recent representative work includes a $1.8 million firm fixed-price purchase order awarded July 13, 2026, by PEO Ground Combat Systems for TRION analogue test assets and G3 flow reactor implantation, due March 1, 2027; a $1.7 million purchase order awarded May 23, 2025, by TACOM Life Cycle Management Command for a minor parts plating line, due September 30, 2026; a $1.6 million purchase order awarded March 25, 2025, by TACOM for hex-trivalent chrome production materials conversion, running through July 31, 2026; a $1.6 million purchase order awarded April 2, 2025, by TACOM for an advanced electrode system; and a $203.7 thousand Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I award from the Army Research Development and Engineering Command on August 5, 2025, for hexavalent chrome replacement research, completed February 4, 2026.

All five awards fund Army commands. TACOM Life Cycle Management Command anchors the portfolio with two awards worth $3.2 million combined; Army Research Development and Engineering Command follows with two awards worth $1.9 million combined; PEO Ground Combat Systems holds one award for $1.8 million. The vendor's combined federal potential value stands at $6.9 million, with 100% of that amount obligated. One award — the $1.8 million PEO Ground Combat Systems purchase order — reaches ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months and faces recompete risk. The vendor does not appear on any GWAC, BPA, or parent vehicle, and carries no subcontract footprint in the source data. Trion's activity shows four awards in 2025 and one in 2026 year-to-date, reflecting early-stage federal engagement concentrated in Army organic industrial base modernization initiatives.

We are team of scientists, electroplaters, mechanical engineers and fabricators that invent surface finishing solutions and then build process equipment to deliver those solutions to the market at industrial scale.
