Additional Details
The Department of the Navy, through the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (IMF), has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial thermal spray surface deposition repair services. This procurement, identified under solicitation number N4523A26Q0808, supports the Trident Refit Facility (TRFB) in Bangor, Washington, specifically for the SSBN 737 USS Kentucky Extended Refit Period (ERP) maintenance availability.
The primary objective of this procurement is to restore the outer “wear” surface of the Induction Mast Standpipe, a critical submarine component, which has experienced degradation due to wear, corrosion byproducts, and defects that fail to meet the inspection criteria outlined in the applicable NAVSEA Maintenance Standard. The required services involve thermal spray repair—a specialized process that deposits a protective coating to restore the component’s surface integrity and extend its operational life.
Historically, this repair was last performed in 2012 by the Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY). However, as of February 2026, NNSY and other U.S. Navy shipyards no longer possess the necessary thermal spray capabilities. Consequently, the Navy is seeking qualified commercial entities whose thermal spray deposition processes and facilities are certified by NAVSEA, in accordance with strict Navy standards for such repairs.
The scope of work includes all labor, materials, equipment, and expertise necessary to perform the thermal spray repair on components removed from U.S. Navy vessels, with all work to be conducted at or delivered to Bremerton, Washington. The period of performance will commence upon contract award, with a required delivery date of July 31, 2026.
This opportunity is classified under NAICS code 332812 (Metal Coating, Engraving [except Jewelry and Silverware], and Allied Services to Manufacturers), with Product Service Code J020. The procurement is set aside for SBA-eligible entities, emphasizing the Navy’s commitment to supporting small business participation.
Interested contractors must ensure their processes are NAVSEA-certified and be prepared to meet the technical, quality, and schedule requirements of the Navy. The contracting activity is managed by the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF, with primary and secondary points of contact provided for further inquiries: Katherine Lauer ([email protected], 360-815-9581) and Edwin Baldoria ([email protected], 360-277-7905).
The solicitation remains active, with responses due by May 14, 2026. Contractors are encouraged to review the full notice and any referenced documents via the official SAM.gov opportunity listing (https://sam.gov/opp/918307e3a1324cb9bd18b244fa717bd8/view) to ensure compliance with all requirements and submission instructions.
This procurement represents a critical maintenance activity supporting the operational readiness of the U.S. Navy’s strategic submarine fleet, and offers a significant opportunity for qualified commercial thermal spray service providers with the requisite certifications and experience.
