80 -- IMPROVED LOW TEMPERATURE, FAST CURING NON-SKID COATING SYSTEMS SOUGHT Sol 0001-C-73, Due 030896, contact point, Dale A. Sowell, 703/602-0215. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Code 03M1 (NAVSEA) is soliciting qualified manufacturers to develop and test an improved non-skid coating conforming to the proposed MIL-PRF-24667, Type V, Comp G or L. The objective of this effort is to develop a qualified non-skid coating which is a low temperature, fast curing system that has a low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) and Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) content. Other performance characteristics are the same as MIL-PRF 24667A, Type I, Comp G or L. NAVSEA considers a qualified applicant to be on the current Qualified Products List (QPL) for MIL-PRF-23003, MIL-PRF-24483, or MIL-PRF-24667A or similar non-skid QPL. Manufacturers not currently on the QPL must have experience with military performance-type shipboard non-skid coatings or materials types used in similar applications. Specific applications would be aircraft landing decks and vertical replenishment zones. Cut off date for proof of performance materials is March 8, 1996. FSC 8010. (025)
