Things to watch (10)
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Serious: Small business set-aside. Only small businesses can win this total small business set-aside, so large firms should not bid.
- Serious: Quality Assurance Manual decides eligibility. Only sources with an acceptable manual can be awarded, and a manual not already approved is reviewed during the technical evaluation.
- Serious: Safety-critical, special-emphasis Navy material. The part is controlled as Level I and Scope of Certification material, so wrong or defective parts can lead to loss of life or the ship, and traceability and certification records are strict.
Show all 10Show fewer
- Serious: Drawings are restricted and need approved access. The NAVSEA drawing needed to make and price the part is behind restricted access on SAM.gov, so request access early and email the contact.
- Worth checking: Past performance counts more than price. A firm with no relevant history gets a neutral rating and may still lose to firms with strong records, even if its price is lower.
- Worth checking: Certification data must be accepted before any shipment. Certification data goes to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard through WAWF 20 days before delivery, and the shipyard has 18 working days to review it.
- Worth checking: Delivery within 200 days. Final delivery is set at 200 days, with certification data due 20 days before delivery; the start of the 200 days is not stated.
- Minor: Welding or brazing needs Navy-approved procedures. If welding or brazing is used, procedures and qualification data need approval before work starts, and a new qualification needs 72 hours' notice to the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA).
- Minor: Inspection and acceptance location is stated two ways. The schedule page says inspection and acceptance at origin, while a later clause selects destination; ask the contracting officer which governs.
- Minor: Priority-rated order. An award will be a DO-rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System, which requires following that regulation.
