80 -- Marine Coatings Industry Day

Fleet & Industrial Supply Center Puget Sound, Bremerton, WA, will be hosting Marine Coatings Industry Day on August 11, 2005 at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS), Bldg. 467, Bremerton, WA (time TBD). Our objective in hosting this event is to communicate with the marine coatings industry (manufacturers of product to MIL-PRF-23236, MIL-PRF-24647, and MIL-DTL-24441 Type III & IV (only)) regarding the need and challenges of procuring mil-spec marine coatings Just-In-Time. The event should take a few hours. The discussion will include PSNS's current procurement model for marine paints, PSNS's expectations in improving this model and any alternate procurement models that could be considered. Shortly after this event, one-on-one dialog with attendees can be accommodated. Per diem and/or travel reimbursement is not available. Attendance is volutary and in no way will influence whether or not a company can submit an offer(s) to any subsequent solicitation. If you are interested in attending, please contact Nancy LaBerge at (360) 476-3517 or [email protected] for more details.
