Who can bid

How to submit: due End of December 6, 2026 (11:00 PM Eastern). What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (5)
- Serious: Only approved sources have been solicited. A business that is not an approved source must send source approval data with its proposal, and the Government may not wait for approval before awarding.
- Serious: Government intends to use only one source. The notice says the Government plans to negotiate with one source and does not name it. Other firms may respond, but the Government may not compete the work.
- Serious: Incomplete source approval data means no award. Offers that lack the full data required by the Source Approval Brochure, or proof it was already sent, are not considered.

- Worth checking: No drawings available. The notice says drawings are not available for this request, so you may not be able to price the part without prior experience.
