- Offer the full quantity of all items (all or none)
How to submit: Email to the Contract Specialist with a copy to the Contracting Officer, subject line 'Proposal Submission W912CH-26-R-A083 (company name)'. Fax, hard copy, disks and hand-carried offers are not accepted. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (14)
- Serious: Total small business set-aside. Only small businesses can bid, and the offeror must be a self-certified small business for North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 332994 in SAM.gov.
- Serious: Joint Certification Program certification required to see the drawings. The drawings are export-controlled. Without JCP certification you cannot request them and cannot write a complete offer.
- Serious: Certification takes an estimated 6 to 10 weeks. The solicitation estimates this processing time after the DD Form 2345 (the certification application) is received. Firms not yet certified may not get the drawings before the response due date of November 12, 2026.

- Worth checking: Drawings are a restricted download on SAM.gov. Each person who needs the drawings must make their own access request and be registered in SAM.gov. A Use and Non-Disclosure Agreement may also be needed. Check a SAM.gov registration.
- Worth checking: First article test required unless waived. A first article test (FAT) is a tested first sample, due 120 days after award, with the Government invited to witness the test. A waiver needs a worksheet and is not assured; if refused, the full FAT price is evaluated.
- Worth checking: Late delivery: unawardable in Section L, rated Marginal in Section M. Section L says a delivery schedule later than the required one (150 days for contract line item numbers, CLINs, 0002AA and 0003AA) is unawardable. Section M rates up to 45 days late as Marginal. No document says which governs; ask the contracting officer.
- Worth checking: NSN differs inside the solicitation. The notice and schedule give NSN 1010-01-561-9234, but the basis-of-award section names NSN 1015-01-567-6067. Confirm the correct item with the contracting officer before pricing.
- Worth checking: Contact names and solicitation number differ. The notice names Richard Hall as Contract Specialist, but the solicitation says to email Michael Shammami and uses W912CH-26-R-A083 in the subject line and drawing reference. Ask which applies.
- Worth checking: All-or-none offer; one award. Offers for less than the total quantity are rejected, and only one award will be made.
- Worth checking: ISO 9001:2015 quality standard applies. The contractor must meet a tailored ISO 9001:2015 standard and pass it down to subcontractors on critical items.
- Minor: Offer must stay open at least 120 days. Offers allowing a shorter acceptance period, or none, may be rejected.
- Minor: Year 2 is an option. The Government may add all or part of the Year 2 quantity of 118 Each; it is not guaranteed.
- Minor: Drawing distribution code differs. The notice says distribution code D; the solicitation says Distribution Statement F. Both restrict access to the drawings.
- Minor: NAICS code on Year 1 line differs. CLIN 0002 shows NAICS 333310 while the solicitation and SAM.gov use 332994. The set-aside size standard follows 332994.
