NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support is buying spare shoulder harness reels (an aircraft part, flagged as a Critical Safety Item). The notice says it is a 100 percent small business set-aside, with a single award to a government-approved source whose quote is technically acceptable and lowest priced. The closing date was extended to 16 October 2026.
Watch out for
- Approved sources only. Only a government-approved source can win, so a new small business likely cannot compete unless it already has that status.
The resulting contract will be awarded exclusively to a government approved source.
- Critical Safety Item. CSIs usually carry extra quality and traceability rules, which are not detailed in this text.
This part is an Critical Safety Item (CSI).
- Conflicting set-aside and deadline details. The SAM set-aside field says none but the text says 100% small business, and the deadline time differs between the field and the text.
Offers received after the closing date are late and will not be considered for award
Read from the notice text only.
