Who can bid
- Small business: the buy is a total small business set-aside.
- Access to the restricted technical data package (TDP, the drawings and specifications): distribution code D limits access to U.S. Government agencies and their contractors, and the controlled files must be requested on SAM.gov.
How to submit: One signed copy of the offer, as set out in Section A of the RFQ (not provided). Questions go in writing to Eboni Albert (EBONI.Q.ALBERT.CIV@ARMY.MIL) and Jonice Green (JONICE.D.GREEN.CIV@ARMY.MIL).. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (7)
From the version posted Oct 14, 2026.
- Serious: Total small business set-aside. Only small businesses under NAICS 314910 can bid; larger firms are shut out.
- Serious: Drawings and specifications are restricted. The technical data package is limited to U.S. Government agencies and their contractors, and the specification and drawing files are controlled and need access approval on SAM.gov. A business without access cannot see what it must build or price it.
- Worth checking: First article test required. A first article must be tested and its report approved before production deliveries, which adds cost and schedule time. The first article dates are set in the delivery schedule, which was not read (it may be an attached file the AI skipped; check SAM.gov).
Show all 7Show fewer
- Worth checking: Option for 100% more units. Prices may need to cover an option equal to the full 1,093 each, so material and capacity planning should cover up to double the base quantity.
- Worth checking: Military packaging and FOB destination delivery. Packing and marking to MIL-STD-2073-1 and a Special Packaging Instruction add cost, and free on board (FOB) destination means the seller bears shipping and risk of loss to Richmond, Kentucky.
- Minor: Offer must stay valid 90 days. Prices have to hold for at least 90 calendar days after the offer due date.
- Minor: Incomplete fill-ins can make an offer ineligible. The RFQ has provisions and clauses with blanks and representations that the bidder must complete.
