Who can bid

- Export control requirements apply to this item
How to submit: Electronic: the solicitation will be available for download only at www.sam.gov; hard copies will not be sent, due October 28, 2026, 2:00 PM Central. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (5)
- Serious: SAM.gov and the solicitation disagree on the set-aside. SAM.gov lists no set-aside, but the solicitation the AI read says a set-aside for small businesses. Ask the contracting officer which applies before you bid.
- Serious: Only one qualified source listed (MOOG Inc). The Government lists MOOG Inc as the qualified source and says it intends to solicit one or a limited number of sources; other firms may send a quote but must meet the qualification requirements and are told the Government does not own the manufacturing data.
- Serious: No manufacturing data owned by the Government. Firms are told to contact the original equipment manufacturer about the data or rights to the data needed to make the item.

- Minor: Not a small business set-aside; foreign-owned firms should check first. The buy is open to all responsible sources, and foreign-owned firms are advised to contact the contracting officer about award restrictions.
- Minor: Unique item identification (UID) marking applies. UID means a permanent machine-readable mark on each item; it adds a production step and cost.
