Who can bid
- Only the company the notice names can win this as planned: other firms may send a capability statement, and the agency decides whether that is enough to compete it.
- Approved by the Government as a source for this item before award, or send source approval data with your proposal
How to submit: due End of November 26, 2026 (11:00 PM Eastern). What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (5)
- Serious: Only one source is expected to receive the award. The agency intends to negotiate with only one source under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, the rule for buying from one source, and the notice is not a request for competitive proposals.
- Serious: Government source approval needed before award. Only sources already approved for this item have been solicited, so a new firm must qualify through the Government's source approval process.
- Serious: Offers without source approval data will not be considered. A firm that is not an approved source must send the approval information with its proposal or its offer is out.

- Worth checking: Award is not delayed to approve a new source. Approving a new source normally takes longer than the buyer will wait, so the award may go ahead without you.
- Minor: Drawings not available. The notice says drawings are not available, which makes it hard to price or make the part without approved-source data.
