Things to watch (11)
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Serious: Small business set-aside. SAM.gov lists this as a total small business set-aside, so only small businesses can bid.
- Serious: Quality Assurance Manual required for award. A critical shipboard part: a firm without an acceptable Quality Assurance Manual cannot be awarded, and a new manual is reviewed during the technical evaluation.
- Serious: Special Emphasis shipboard material. Failure of this part could cause loss of life or of the ship, so the order carries strict material certification, traceability and government inspection.
Show all 11Show fewer
- Worth checking: Quantity changed by amendment. Amendment 0003 changes item 0001AA to 10 EA from 24 EA, but the attached solicitation's ship-to line shows 6 EA; price per unit and confirm the quantity with the contracting officer.
- Worth checking: Drawings have restricted access. You must request access on SAM.gov and tell the point of contact before you can see the drawings needed to price the part.
- Worth checking: Required testing at listed laboratories. The slow strain rate tensile test on the QQ-N-286 alloy must be done by one of the named laboratories, which adds cost and lead time.
- Worth checking: Material is rejected without certification papers. Missing or incomplete test certifications mean the delivered shafts will be rejected.
- Worth checking: Past performance outweighs price. The award may go to a higher-priced quote, and a business with no past performance gets a neutral rating that may lose to better-rated firms.
- Minor: Response due date moved by Amendment 0003. The amendment extends the response due date to November 20, 2026, 4:30 PM local time and does not give the earlier date.
- Minor: Delivery is 200 days, FOB destination, to Maine. Final delivery is 200 days, with shipping costs to Kittery, ME included in the price.
- Minor: Priority-rated order. A DO rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System requires you to follow its rules.
