NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, PA wants to buy 750 Suspension Band Sets MK89 MOD1 (NSN 1355-01-387-7738, a torpedo suspension band) on a firm-fixed-price contract, plus a one-year option for up to 80% more. Items ship FOB origin to NUWC Keyport, WA and several other Navy and Marine sites, including Japan and Guam. Award is best value, and the offer is due October 20, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern.
Watch out for
- CMMC Level 2 certification required before award. A third-party (C3PAO) CMMC Level 2 assessment takes time and money, and a firm without it cannot be awarded the contract.
will not be eligible for award of a contract, task order, or delivery order
- Drawings are export-controlled and require SAM.gov access. The technical data package (more than 30 drawings and test requirements) is not public, and you cannot price or plan the work until the government approves your access request.
Drawings are NOT available on CD.
- First article testing at contractor risk. You pay for first article tests and for any retests, and materials bought before approval are at your own risk.
quantity is at the sole risk of the Contractor.

- Failed lots can lead to default. A disapproved test report or a late lot can be treated as a failure to deliver and lead to termination for default; acceptance and payment wait for report approval.
- Earned value management clause included. The clause text requires a government-validated EVMS, which a small shop would not have; it may be template text, so ask the contracting officer.
The Contractor must use an earned value management system (EVMS) that has been determined by the Cognizant Federal Agency (CFA) to be
- Two-case pricing required. Failing to price both with and without first article, and each option step, can get the offer rejected.

- Worldwide delivery points. Sets ship to U.S. sites plus Misawa and Yokosuka in Japan and Guam, with delivery addresses to be confirmed 60 days before shipment.
