Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 21, 2026.
- Worth checking: Set-aside shown on SAM.gov but not in the text. SAM.gov lists a total small business set-aside, while the text says all responsible sources may submit a quotation. Ask the contracting officer which applies.
- Worth checking: Two solicitation numbers. SAM.gov shows 70ZU0327Q60404Y00, but the email subject must carry 2126406Y152141495 or the quote may not be matched.
- Worth checking: Export-controlled drawings. Some drawings need Joint Certification Program (JCP) registration, which takes time to get if you do not have it.

- Minor: Freight must be in the price. The price must include delivery to Baltimore, so shipping cost is your risk.
- Minor: Substitutions need a specification sheet. An alternate part must come with a sheet so the Coast Guard can check it fits the requirement.
