Worth checking: Ship check dates are tentative. The notice calls both visits 'tentatively scheduled', so check SAM.gov for amendments before relying on the dates.
Worth checking: Delivery date differs between documents. Section F gives a delivery date of January 8, 2027, while the Statement of Work sets the final delivery 61 calendar days after contract award.
Worth checking: Draft and final due after award. A draft package is due 40 calendar days after award and the final, with paper copies, 61 calendar days after award.
Minor: Cybersecurity clauses in the contract. The clause list includes DoD's NIST SP 800-171 assessment requirements (National Institute of Standards and Technology cybersecurity rules for protecting sensitive defense information); check what proof the Navy expects.
