Things to watch (8)
From the version posted Oct 21, 2026.
- Serious: Small business set-aside. Only small businesses can win this order; the size standard is 750 employees.
- Serious: Controlled drawing needs DD 2345 and NNPI agreement. The drawing is controlled, so a business without a current, signed DD Form 2345 and a signed NNPI Security Agreement cannot get it to quote.
- Serious: Required delivery date December 3, 2026. Quotes that do not meet or beat this date may be treated as not responsive, and award may go to the soonest delivery.
Show all 8Show fewer
- Worth checking: CMMC Level 2 self-assessment needed before award. You must upload a completed CMMC Level 2 self-assessment to SPRS before award, and the CMMC level line in the 252.204-7025 provision is left blank, so confirm it with the contracting officer.
- Worth checking: Supplier risk score checked. The Government uses SPRS to decide whether a vendor is responsible, so a poor SPRS record can hurt a quote.
- Worth checking: Material certificates and traceability required. Each heat or lot needs a certificate of quality conformance and a certificate of test with actual results, and a traceability number on the package.
- Minor: Reverse auction possible. The contracting officer may run an online reverse auction, where bidders see the lowest price and lower their own.
- Minor: Delivered price, FOB destination. Your price must include freight to Kittery, Maine, because the Government wants delivered prices.
