Who can bid
- A quality system that meets ISO 9001, with calibration to ISO 10012, or ANSI Z540.3 with ISO 17025 (a MIL-I-45208 system with MIL-STD-45662 calibration is an accepted alternate)
- Documented quality system procedures sent to the contracting officer before award (required of all suppliers of Deep Submergence Systems Program material)
Things to watch (6)
From the version posted Oct 20, 2026.
- Serious: Quantity not given. The text says the quantity was decreased but gives no number or unit of issue, and a quote is priced per unit.
- Serious: Special Emphasis ship part. Extra controls, traceability, a certificate of compliance and Government inspection apply because a defect could injure people or endanger the ship.
- Serious: ISO 9001 quality system required. A business without a documented quality system and calibration system that meets these standards may not qualify.

- Worth checking: Drawing not provided with the order. Drawing 351-27872 is not supplied with the contract, so you must find out how to get it before you can price the part.
- Worth checking: Electronic Contractor Data Submission (ECDS) needs a Common Access Card. The Navy's data submission site needs advance registration with a digital certificate on a Common Access Card (CAC), a Defense ID card, which a small business may not hold.
- Minor: Response due date extended. An amendment extended the due date; the response due date to use is November 24, 2026, 4:30 PM UTC-4 (3:30 PM Eastern).
