Alodized Aluminum Sheets for Highway Signs

This solicitation is for alodized aluminum sheets, specifically non-heat-treated alloy 5052-H38, suitable for reflective sheeting material used in the manufacturing of highway signs. The specifications detail requirements for material type, alloy, thickness tolerances, flatness, tensile strength, elongation, and finish. The alodine treatment must produce a light, tight, iridescent coating that is free of powdery residue and imparts increased corrosion resistance, capable of resisting a minimum of 168 hours of salt spray exposure. Various sizes and dimensions are specified, including tolerances for width, length, and diagonals. The surface must be smooth and burr-free. Procurement details include packaging and shipping per purchase order, with a requirement for mill certification with each material lot to confirm compliance with specifications. Bidders are required to submit completed bid packages via email by the due date.
