What the government is buying
DLA Maritime – Portsmouth needs an impeller pump assembly, a mechanical component used to move fluid within maritime systems. Impeller pump assemblies are common aboard naval vessels and at shore facilities for applications including cooling water, bilge pumping, fuel transfer, and other shipboard fluid-handling needs.
Work under NAICS code 333996 (Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing) typically involves manufacturing, assembling, or significantly modifying pumps and related fluid power equipment. Given DLA Maritime's mission, this item likely supports the maintenance, repair, or overhaul of U.S. Navy ships or submarines homeported or serviced in the Portsmouth area.
This is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation, meaning the notice serves as both the announcement of the requirement and the formal request for offers—there is no separate solicitation package to follow. Vendors should see the solicitation for complete technical specifications, delivery requirements, and any drawings or data rights provisions.

Who can bid
This opportunity is 100% set aside for small businesses, meaning only small business concerns under the size standard for NAICS 333996 may submit offers. The current Small Business Administration size standard for this NAICS is 1,000 employees; verify your status in SAM.gov before bidding.
No large business prime may lead. Large businesses may participate only as subcontractors. If you are a small business with relevant maritime pump experience—including subcontractors who have supported Navy shipyards or DLA supply chains—you are eligible to compete.
Ensure your SAM.gov registration is active and current, with the correct NAICS code and small business representations. DLA typically requires IRAPT/Wide Area Workflow registration for invoicing and delivery; confirm this is in place.
How to put together a competitive bid
For a Total Small Business Set Aside on a manufactured pump assembly, focus on these elements:
Technical compliance. DLA Maritime orders follow detailed military or commercial specifications. Obtain the full solicitation to confirm whether the impeller pump assembly requires a specific Military Standard (MIL-STD), MIL-PRF, NAVSEA drawing, or commercial item description. Any deviation must be clearly stated and may require an approved waiver.
Past performance. If you have supplied to DLA, Navy shipyards, or similar maritime maintenance programs, highlight this prominently. DLA evaluates past performance through CPARS and PPIRS/FPDS data. If you lack direct DLA experience, emphasize subcontractor roles or comparable pump assemblies for marine or heavy-industrial applications.
Pricing discipline. Combined Synopsis/Solicitation notices often move quickly. Review the solicitation for F.O.B. terms, freight classification, and any contractor-furnished freight requirements. Kittery, ME is adjacent to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard—confirm whether delivery is to the shipyard or a DLA depot.
Quality certifications. Marine pump work frequently requires ISO 9001, NAVSEA standards, or special welding and material certifications. See the solicitation for required quality assurance provisions and source inspection requirements.
Small business advantage. DLA may evaluate small business participation as a factor even in Total Set Asides. If you plan to subcontract machining, casting, or specialty coatings, document that your subcontractors are also small businesses where possible.
