The Army (Watervliet Arsenal, NY) wants two types of wooden 'sweeps' (Vee cut, size 6 x 8) built to a government drawing: 318 intermediate and 201 bottom pieces. It is a total small business set-aside, one firm-fixed-price purchase order to the lowest-priced acceptable offer, delivered to the arsenal by 21 Dec 2026 with the contractor paying freight. Quotes are due by email on 21 Oct 2026.
Watch out for
- Drawing is restricted. The only drawing (35-SV-2B) is controlled technical data; you need a DD 2345 certification and government approval of an access request before you can price or build the part.
If the attachment is restricted, request access to the document.
- Tight delivery with strict enforcement. Both lines are due 21 Dec 2026, about two months after quotes are due, and raw material or subcontractor delays are explicitly not accepted excuses.
ON TIME DELIVERY IS VERY CRITICAL.
- All-or-none quote. You must quote the full quantity of every item; a quote for part of the order is not considered.
Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation.
- Contractor pays freight and delivers to a scheduled dock. Price must include delivery to the arsenal (FOB destination); carriers must book an appointment and the arsenal is closed on alternate Fridays.
Party to Pay Transportation Cost: Contractor
- Inconsistent pricing and drawing instructions. The instructions say to price only CLIN 0001 although there are two CLINs, and CLIN 0002 cites drawing 35-SV-2-3 while the notice and drawing list say 35-SV-2B; ask the buyer to clarify before quoting.
2. Write the proposed price on Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001 (including delivery)
- Other contract requirements to check. The order carries standard defense clauses on Buy American, safeguarding covered defense information (DFARS 252.204-7012) and export-controlled items, which add compliance work for a small shop.
