Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open—there is no small business set-aside, so businesses of any size may submit offers. However, small businesses registered under NAICS 336320 remain eligible to compete.
To bid, your firm should be registered in SAM.gov, have the appropriate NAICS code in your profile, and be prepared to meet any qualifying defense acquisition regulations that attach to Navy supply contracts. Given the "QUA" prefix in the solicitation number, this may involve quality assurance or source inspection requirements—common for critical shipboard components.
If you are a small manufacturer in this space, note that you will compete directly with large established defense suppliers. Consider whether you hold any relevant past performance with Navy or maritime customers, and whether your production capacity and quality certifications align with typical NAVSUP WSS demands.
How to put together a competitive bid
Verify technical fit immediately. A "1 HP motor" could span numerous configurations. Obtain the full specification—likely a military standard or commercial item description—before committing resources. Check for requirements like shock rating, salt spray resistance, or electromagnetic interference compliance common to marine environments.
Examine the inspection and acceptance terms. NAVSUP WSS contracts frequently involve source inspection at your facility or acceptance at destination. Clarify whether first article testing is required and factor any delay or travel costs into your pricing.
Assess your supply chain for long-lead materials. Motors with specialized windings, housings, or bearings may have extended procurement cycles. The response window here is roughly four weeks—confirm you can reasonably quote committed delivery.
Review packaging and marking requirements. Navy supply contracts typically specify military preservation and packing standards, which add cost but are non-negotiable.
Consider teaming if capacity-constrained. A prime-sub arrangement with a larger manufacturer or a specialty winding shop may strengthen your offer without overstretching your facility.
Next steps
Read the full solicitation on SAM.gov using solicitation number N0010427QUA27. Confirm all technical specifications, delivery requirements, and contractual clauses before preparing your offer.
Critical deadline: Responses are due November 23, 2026 at 4:30 PM Eastern Time. NAVSUP WSS solicitations typically do not accommodate late submissions.
