Who can bid
- An acceptable Quality Assurance Manual; the quality system must meet MIL-I-45208, MIL-Q-9858 or ISO 9001, with a matching calibration system
- Relevant past performance information, or a statement that you have none; leaving both out makes an offeror ineligible for award
Things to watch (8)
From the version posted Oct 16, 2026.
- Serious: Only sources with an acceptable Quality Assurance Manual are eligible. This is critical Navy shipboard material (Level I special emphasis material), so a firm without a qualifying quality system and manual cannot receive an award.
- Serious: Drawing 3337813 is not provided. Bidders must get the Bendix drawing and the cited specifications themselves, and the notice does not say where or whether the drawing is available.
- Serious: Past performance must be given or stated as none. Past performance outweighs price, and an offer that neither gives it nor says there is none is ineligible; a firm with none gets a neutral rating that may still lose.

- Worth checking: DX-rated order under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities. A DX rating is a national-defense priority rating, so the contractor must follow DPAS rules; the order also uses emergency acquisition procedures.
- Worth checking: Long delivery with welding approvals first. Final delivery is 620 days after the effective date, and welding cannot start until the Navy approves the procedures, so cash is tied up for a long time.
- Worth checking: Approval time for weld procedures differs: 60 days or 90 days. The solicitation notes give 60 days after receipt for approval, while the data item list says the review must be within 90 days of receipt; ask the contracting officer which applies.
- Worth checking: No shipping before Navy acceptance of certification data. Certification data goes to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard before each shipment, and the item cannot ship until it is accepted.
- Minor: Amendment changed the quantity without giving the number. The notice says the quantity was updated, and the attached schedule shows 5 EA, so confirm the current quantity with the contracting officer.
