Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 15, 2026.
- Serious: Government does not own the manufacturing data. The Government lacks the data or rights to make this item, and bidders are told to ask the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) about the data. Ask the OEM about the data rights before you bid.
- Serious: Limited-sources authority, Lockheed Martin listed. The notice cites authority for negotiating with one or a limited number of sources and lists Lockheed Martin Corporation, CAGE code 81755. It also says all responsible sources may submit an offer, which will be considered.
- Worth checking: Solicitation not yet released. This is a presolicitation. The solicitation, with the terms, delivery schedule and price form, will be posted on sam.gov on its release date.

- Worth checking: Item unique identification marking applies. The synopsis says IUID requirements will apply, which means marking each unit; plan for the added cost and process.
- Minor: Quantity is an estimate and delivery is TBD. The quantity is a best estimate of 15 EA, and the delivery date is not set, so you cannot yet price delivery.
