Things to watch (9)
- Serious: Total small business set-aside. Only small businesses under NAICS 336611 can bid; larger firms cannot.
- Serious: Mandatory ship check: October 27 or October 29, 2026, 10:00 AM ET (tentative). Attend at least one visit at Colonna's Shipyard or your offer will not be evaluated; there are no follow-up visits or alternative dates.
- Serious: The site visit was Oct 22, 2026. Check the notice and its amendments for whether attendance was required, and whether another visit is offered.
Show all 9Show fewer
- Worth checking: Badge access and 2-person limit at the site visit. Without a badge you cannot attend, and each vendor may bring only 2 representatives, all on the original access list.
- Worth checking: Drawings must match real ship conditions. The package must be based on conditions verified during the ship check, and the contractor must report differences from the Government's reference drawings, so measuring carefully at the visit matters.
- Worth checking: Final package due 61 calendar days after award. A draft is due at 40 calendar days after award, then the final with 2 electronic files and 2 full-size paper copies; the draft review leaves little time for changes.
- Minor: Two delivery timings. The schedule says delivery is required on January 8, 2027, while the statement of work sets delivery 61 calendar days after award; ask the contracting officer how they fit together.
- Minor: Drawings only, no installation. The work is limited to assessment, drawings and the BOM, so there is no equipment supply or installation work in this order.
- Minor: Cybersecurity assessment clause. The order lists the NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Requirements clause (a cybersecurity self-assessment) and the covered defense information clause, which can add paperwork for a small firm.
