What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy, through Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapons Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, is soliciting offers for 20--CHAIR,PDSTL WTHSTNR — a pedestal chair with headrest/stationary features. This is a furniture procurement for what is typically seating equipment used in operational or support settings aboard naval vessels or in shore facilities. NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg serves as the primary logistics support provider for Navy and Marine Corps weapon systems, managing spare parts and related equipment.
The NAICS code 336611 corresponds to Ship Building and Repairing, though furniture procurement under this classification suggests the chairs are likely specialized marine-grade seating meeting naval specifications for shipboard use — such as berthing chairs, bridge seating, or other installed furnishings that must comply with military standards for durability, safety, and shipboard habitability.

Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open competition with no set-aside restriction. Any responsible business — including small businesses, large businesses, and non-traditional defense contractors — may submit an offer. However, the 336611 NAICS code (Ship Building and Repairing) carries a 500-employee size standard, meaning businesses with 501 or more employees are classified as other than small for this procurement.
Small businesses should verify their size status in SAM.gov before bidding. If you qualify as small under this NAICS, you retain eligibility for any subcontracting plans or small business credit the Navy may apply against its goals, even in full and open competition.
Given the likely shipboard application, prospective bidders should assess whether they can meet military specifications for marine furniture — potentially including shock resistance, fire retardancy, corrosion resistance, and NAVSEA or MIL-STD compliance requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
For furniture procurement under NAVSUP WSS, focus on these elements:
Technical compliance: Obtain the full specification from SAM.gov. Shipboard chairs typically require certification to military standards — verify whether existing commercial products qualify or if design modifications are needed. Document your compliance approach explicitly.
Past performance: Cite relevant deliveries to the Navy, Coast Guard, Maritime Administration, or commercial shipbuilders. NAVSUP WSS values proven logistics performance, including on-time delivery and quality acceptance rates.
Pricing strategy: In full and open competition, price matters significantly. Analyze your manufacturing costs carefully, including any specialized materials or testing required for military-grade certification. Consider whether teaming with an established marine equipment supplier strengthens your position.
Production capacity: Assess your ability to meet the delivery schedule from award. Navy furniture procurements often have contract-specific requirements for phased delivery or spares provisioning — see the solicitation for these details.
SAM registration: Ensure your entity registration is active, and your representations and certifications are current, including small business size representation if applicable.
