Paint, Primer, Thinner and Blasting Media BPA - SOLICITATION

The Department of the Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Rock Island District, is seeking to establish a suite of Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for the procurement of marine-grade paint and related supplies. This requirement supports the USACE Mississippi River Project Office in preserving the surfaces of Lock and Dam Tainter Gates. Specifically, the government intends to purchase paint formulas VZ-108d and V-766e, MEK thinner, and coal slag blasting media. The proposed multiple-award BPA features a five-year ordering period with a total estimated ordering capacity of $900,000.

The solicitation incorporates a partial set-aside structure involving two distinct classifications. The paint and thinner portion is competed as full and open under NAICS 325510 Paint and Coating Manufacturing and PSC 8010 Paints, Dopes, Varnishes, and Related Products. The blasting media portion is designated as a small business set-aside (SBP) under NAICS 327910 Abrasive Product Manufacturing, which carries a small business size standard of 500 employees. Interested parties must submit responses by the deadline of April 28, 2026, through the PIEE Solicitation module.
