To be eligible, a prospective offeror must:
- Be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) with active registration valid through the award period
- Hold NAICS 332991 in their SAM profile or demonstrate capability in ball and roller bearing manufacturing

How to put together a competitive bid
For a bearing assembly procurement in a full and open competition, focus on these elements:
Technical compliance: Verify your bearing assembly exactly matches the special requirements. Military bearing assemblies often specify exact dimensions, load ratings, lubrication, cage materials, and tolerance grades (ABEC ratings). Request the ** drawings and specifications** through SAM.gov's Q&A feature if not attached.
Quality systems: NAVSUP WS typically requires ISO 9001 or AS9100 (aerospace) certification. Confirm your quality management system scope includes bearing manufacturing. See the solicitation for specific source inspection or first article test requirements.
Past performance: Prepare relevant references for similar bearing assemblies delivered to DoD or commercial aerospace/industrial customers. Include Contract Data Reports (CDR) or Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) references if available.
Pricing strategy: In full and open competition, price matters significantly. Analyze GFPOM (Government Furnished Property or Material) possibilities and DFARS 252.215-7002 Cost Proposal requirements. Request historical pricing through the contracting officer if this is a recurring buy.
Delivery and packaging: MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073 packaging requirements are standard for NAVSUP WS items. Factor VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) packaging and RFID-compliant shipping labels into your proposal.
