The Navy's Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren (CDSA Dam Neck) wants a contractor to provide commercial warehousing, storage, inventory management, material handling and freight support in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area. It is a firm-fixed-price commercial contract, set aside 100% for certified service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, awarded on lowest price technically acceptable. Quotes are due by email on 29 October 2026.
Watch out for
SDVOSB certification required. Only firms certified in SBA VetCert can quote; a self-declared service-disabled veteran status is not enough. Quotes will only be accepted from SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses
Lowest price wins. With LPTA, price decides among acceptable quotes, so there is little room to win on quality alone. Technical acceptability will be evaluated on a Pass/Fail basis against the mandatory minimum requirements set forth in the SOW.
Facility specifications only in attachment. Facility size, environmental controls and performance standards are in the SOW attachment, so you cannot tell if your space qualifies from this text. Full facility specifications, dimensional requirements, environmental controls, and performance standards are detailed in the attached Statement of Work (SOW).
Priority-rated order. The order carries a defense priority rating, which means it must be given preference in scheduling. DPAS Rating Assigned: DO-C9
