Who to talk to

At the forecast stage there is no active procurement, so contact is welcome rather than restricted — this is the one window where a direct conversation is straightforwardly appropriate.

The Small Business Specialist is usually the better first call. Helping firms like yours find and compete for this work is their actual job, and they can tell you whether a set-aside is still under consideration.

Statement of work, as posted

The USCG uses eStripTM Type VII Corn Starch-g-Acrylic blast media, herein referred to as Type VII blast media, to strip coatings from all substrates without damage to the substrate. It can be used for selective stripping and removing top coatings while leaving primer intact. It is an engineered copolymer blast abrasive derived from grafting starch with acrylic plastic. It also removes vinyl from aircraft interior panels, sealants from components and/or fuel cells, and paint from cadmium plated parts where the plating was left intact. Its use can replace chemical and plastic bead paint stripping systems traditionally used and limits exposure of personnel to hazardous material.
