What the government is buying
The Navy is soliciting for a bushing sleeve, identified by part number 3HD 5365 017330665 D5. This falls under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 5365, which covers bushings, rings, shims, and spacers—components used in mechanical assemblies to reduce friction, absorb vibration, or precisely locate parts within weapon systems and other equipment.
Bushing sleeves in this classification are typically cylindrical liners installed in housings or apertures to provide a bearing surface for shafts, pins, or bolts. NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg manages procurement for Navy and Marine Corps material support, including spare parts for ship and aircraft systems. The specific end-use application for this bushing sleeve is not stated in the metadata—see the solicitation for technical specifications, required dimensions, material composition, and any performance standards or certifications.

NAICS 332119 covers establishments primarily engaged in stamping metal products, including precision-manufactured components like bushings and sleeves from various metals. The "Total" small business set-aside means only small business concerns under this NAICS size standard may submit offers.
Who can bid
This opportunity is restricted to small businesses as classified under NAICS 332119. The current Small Business Administration size standard for this code is 500 employees; bidders must certify they fall at or below this threshold in the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) and SAM.gov registration.
To qualify, your firm must:
- Hold active SAM.gov registration with small business status
- Have the NAICS 332119 listed in your SAM profile
- Be able to manufacture or supply metal stamping products meeting military specifications
- Demonstrate no affiliation that would push combined employee count above 500
If you are a veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, woman-owned, or HUBZone small business, you should ensure these certifications are current in SAM, as they may provide evaluation preference or subcontracting credit in Navy procurements even under a general small business set-aside.
How to put together a competitive bid
Bidding on a hardware item like this bushing sleeve requires attention to technical exactness and traceability:
Engineering compliance: Obtain the full drawing and specification package from the solicitation to verify your manufacturing process can meet tolerances, surface finish, and material requirements (possibly including specific alloys, heat treatment, or plating). Navy aircraft and ship components often reference military standards such as MIL-DTL- or AS specifications.
Quality systems: Be prepared to document your quality management system. NAVSUP frequently requires ISO 9001 or AS9100 registration for aerospace-related hardware, or evidence of equivalent processes. See the solicitation for specific quality certifications demanded.
Traceability and documentation: Defense procurement requires complete material and process traceability. Establish lot control, material certifications, and inspection records before bidding.
Past performance: If you have supplied to DLA, NAVSUP, or other defense customers under similar part numbers, highlight this in your proposal. First-time bidders should demonstrate comparable commercial or industrial experience with equivalent specifications.
Pricing strategy: Analyze historical pricing for this NSN or similar bushings through FPDS or GSA CAL tools if available. Ensure your price accounts for first article inspection potential, packaging to MIL-STD-129/2073, and any required Contractor Logistics Support.
