Summary of the version posted Oct 16, 2026. The notice was amended Oct 29, 2026. The due date moved from Oct 30, 2026 to Nov 12, 2026. Check what else changed on SAM.gov. The notice looks incomplete: The build-to-print drawings (technical data package) are not posted; they come from the contracting office after you send a certified DD Form 2345 and CMMC proof, so the full technical requirements are not in the posted text. Check the attachments on SAM.gov.

Who can bid (7)
- Small business under NAICS 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), shown by your SAM.gov representations and certifications; this is a 100% small business set-aside, so only small businesses can bid
- A current, certified DD Form 2345 (Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement) on file with the Joint Certification Program, needed to request the export-controlled drawings; only offerors who requested a drawing package and hold a valid DD Form 2345 are considered for award
- Proof of CMMC Level 2 (Self) certification to request the drawings, and a current CMMC Level 2 (Self) status in SPRS at award; the Government checks SPRS before releasing the controlled data
Show all 7Show fewer
- A current NIST SP 800-171 assessment (no more than three years old) posted in SPRS, unless an exception applies
- ISO 9001 certification, with proof sent in the offer
- Active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), a prerequisite for award
- Firms based abroad are shut out of the technical data: the program includes critical data not releasable to foreign firms
How to submit: Email to Eric Glawson (eric.j.glawson.civ@us.navy.mil), as Section L reads after Amendment 0001; no other method is authorized unless the Contracting Officer allows it, due October 30, 2026, 3:00 PM Eastern. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (11)
- Serious: Total small business set-aside. Only small businesses under NAICS 334519 can bid, and the offer must include SAM.gov certifications showing that status.
- Serious: Required earlier step: request the drawings with a DD Form 2345 and CMMC proof. The drawings are not posted; a firm without a certified DD Form 2345 and CMMC Level 2 (Self) proof cannot get them, and the notice gives no deadline for the request.
- Serious: CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171 status needed in SPRS. A firm without current CMMC Level 2 (Self) status when award is made is ineligible, and an older-than-three-years assessment can also disqualify it.
Show all 11Show fewer
- Serious: ISO 9001 certification required. The offer must include proof of ISO 9001 certification, and the higher-level quality clause (FAR 52.246-11) names ISO 9001.
- Worth checking: Updated technical data package after Amendment 0001. Drawings were added and the statement of work updated; firms that asked for drawings earlier must ask again.
- Worth checking: Submission method: Section L says email, Section M still names PIEE. Amendment 0001's Section L says to email Eric Glawson, but Section M still mentions the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) for quotations; ask the contracting officer which governs.
- Worth checking: Obsolete part (RAP-50) may be hard to find. The Government says RAP-50 units may still be available worldwide and suggests independent distributors or part brokers; a DD Form 1694 Request for Variance handles other obsolete parts.
- Worth checking: Export control rules reach your subcontractors. Machine shops and circuit board makers you use must follow the same export control laws as your company.
- Minor: Delivery of 26 weeks. Section F gives 26 Weeks for the single unit, with the lead time event listed as Date of Award, so parts sourcing must start at once.
- Minor: Solicitation number changed. The number is now N68335-27-Q-1021 (it was N6833526Q1183), so use the new number on questions and requests.
- Minor: CLIN number differs between documents. The statement of work calls the line CLIN 1001 while Section B calls it CLIN 0001; the quantity is 1 in both.

Not in the notice text
- The build-to-print drawings (technical data package) are not posted; they come from the contracting office after you send a certified DD Form 2345 and CMMC proof, so the full technical requirements are not in the posted text
- Part of the middle of both solicitation files was left out of what was read, and the DD Form 1694 file showed only a viewer message; check those files on SAM.gov
- Section J lists Attachment 3, a Government-initiated variance for Drawing 10000024109 Revision AE, which is not among the posted files that could be read
- No deadline is given for drawing requests or questions
- The inspection office is listed as TBD in Section E, and the statement of work says the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) inspects
