What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, is soliciting bids for an adapter assembly, DR (drain). This falls under NAICS 336612 — Boat Building — which covers manufacturing and component supply for marine vessels and related watercraft. While the exact technical specifications aren't included in the metadata, adapter assemblies in this context typically serve as connection or transition components in shipboard systems, likely related to fluid or drainage systems given the "DR" designation.
The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support organization manages logistics and sustainment for Navy and Marine Corps weapon systems, including spare parts procurement for ship maintenance and readiness.

Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no small business set-aside. Any qualified business — large or small — may submit a bid. The NAICS 336612 (Boat Building) has corresponding size standards that determine whether a business qualifies as small; see the solicitation or SBA size standards for the specific threshold.
Boat building and marine component suppliers, precision machine shops with naval/maritime experience, and manufacturers of hydraulic or fluid system components are typical candidates for this type of work. Businesses should verify their SAM.gov registration is active, their NAICS 336612 is listed in their SAM profile, and their size classification is current if claiming small business status.
Given the defense supply context, prospective bidders likely need or should anticipate requirements related to DFARS clauses, ITAR compliance if applicable, Navy quality standards, and Traceability/Anti-counterfeit measures common in weapon systems support contracts.
How to put together a competitive bid
Review the complete technical requirements: Adapter assemblies for naval applications typically demand exact dimensional tolerances, specific materials (often corrosion-resistant), and configuration control. See the solicitation for the military specification or drawing number.
Assess your manufacturing capabilities against delivery requirements: NAVSUP WSS contracts often require rapid turnaround for fleet readiness; confirm your capacity and supply chain can meet any stated lead times.
Verify past performance and qualifications: Weapon Systems Support evaluates supplier performance history. Document relevant Navy or maritime component deliveries, especially adapter assemblies, valves, or similar fluid system hardware.
Calculate total evaluated price carefully: Factor in all packaging, marking, and shipping requirements to Navy depots or fleet locations. These contracts often include specific military packaging (MIL-STD-2073) or RFID requirements.
Address Quality Assurance: Be prepared to demonstrate ISO 9001 certification or equivalent, material certifications, and inspection protocols. First-article inspection may be required — see the solicitation.
Check for Source Approval or Qualification: Some NAVSUP mechanical components require pre-approval as a qualified manufacturer or testing of sample units. The solicitation will indicate if this applies.
Submit through SAM.gov or designated system: Ensure your entity is registered and your submission meets the precise deadline of October 16, 2026, 4:30 PM Eastern Time.
