NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (Mechanicsburg) wants quotes for a 4-inch wye strainer (a Y-shaped pipe filter) for a critical Navy ship system, delivered to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The response due date is November 6, 2026, 4:30 PM UTC-4. The part is Level I special emphasis material (the Navy's name for parts whose failure could endanger a ship). It needs a Navy-accepted quality manual, certified materials, radiography (X-ray inspection) of each body, and full traceability. Final delivery is due within 365 days of award.
Who can bid
- An acceptable Quality Assurance Manual, with a quality system meeting MIL-I-45208, MIL-Q-9858 or ISO 9001 and a calibration system meeting MIL-STD-45662A, ANSI/NCSL-Z540.3-2006 or ISO 10012-1
- A quality system based on ISO 9001 (or MIL-I-45208), with calibration under ISO 10012 or ANSI Z540.3 with ISO 17025, open to Government evaluation and audit
Things to watch (10)
From the version posted Oct 20, 2026.
- Serious: Critical Level I ship part with heavy quality rules. Special emphasis material needs certified materials, traceability marking, Government source inspection and Navy-reviewed data; a small shop without Navy quality experience may struggle to qualify.
- Serious: Quality manual must be acceptable to the Navy. Only firms with an acceptable Quality Assurance Manual can get the award, so a firm without an approved manual risks being rejected on the technical review.
- Worth checking: Quantity is unclear. The ship-to line reads '11 EA' and the notice says an amendment updated the quantity without stating it; quotes are priced per unit, so confirm the quantity with the contracting officer.

- Worth checking: Set-aside status is unclear. SAM.gov states no set-aside, but the notice's clause list includes a total small business set-aside notice; ask the contracting officer whether only small businesses may bid.
- Worth checking: Radiography and Navy-approved welding. Each body needs radiography, and weld procedures and qualification data need Navy approval before any welding, which adds cost, steps and outside labs.
- Worth checking: Past performance counts more than price. A firm with no relevant history is rated neutral and may still lose to firms with proven records, even at a lower price.
- Worth checking: Drawings need an access request. Request access to any drawings on the SAM.gov notice page, then email the primary contact; the listed specifications and drawings must be obtained by the contractor.
- Worth checking: Final delivery within 365 days of award. Radiography sketch approvals and production radiography run in sequence with Navy review periods inside the 365 days, so the schedule depends on the Navy's review times.
- Minor: Priority-rated order. The order will carry a DO rating under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS: rules that put defense orders first in line), and the contractor must follow that regulation.
- Minor: Navy data site needs a CAC. The Navy's Electronic Contractor Data Submission (ECDS) site, used for some requests, needs advance registration with a Common Access Card (CAC) digital certificate that a small firm may not have.

- Get Navy approval of weld procedures and qualification data before any welding, and prepare radiographic shooting sketches
- Send material and test certifications and a certificate of compliance, through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF, the Navy's online receiving and invoice system), before each shipment; nothing ships before acceptance

- Offers due
- November 6, 2026, 4:30 PM UTC-4
What they'll judge offers on
- Technical acceptability: an acceptable Quality Assurance Manual and calibration system are required for eligibility, and the manual is reviewed as part of the technical evaluation
- Past performance: more important than price; no relevant history is rated neutral, and Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) quality and delivery ratings may be used

What to include when you submit

- Give the past performance information that Section L asks for, or state that you have no relevant past performance; leaving both out makes you ineligible for award
- Level I suppliers must send their current documented quality system procedures to the contracting officer before award; ask for a waiver if they are already on file
