Who can bid
This is an unrestricted solicitation with no small business set-aside. Any responsible offeror — regardless of size — may submit a bid, including:
- Large manufacturers of switchgear and electrical apparatus
- Small businesses in the 335313 NAICS, though they will compete directly with larger firms
- Nontraditional defense contractors and commercial-item suppliers
If your business qualifies as small under the 335313 size standard, consider whether subcontracting plans, Mentor-Protégé arrangements, or teaming agreements could strengthen your competitive position against larger rivals. The absence of a set-aside means past performance, technical capability, and price will likely drive the source selection.
How to put together a competitive bid
For switchgear/switchboard manufacturing competitions, focus on these elements:
Technical compliance: Verify exact specifications for the "KITE TERMINAL CONSO" item against your current product lines or engineering capabilities. FSC 5930 items often require Mil-Spec certifications or QPL (Qualified Products List) approval.
Quality systems: NAVSUP WSS typically requires ISO 9001 or equivalent quality management systems for electrical components. Confirm your certifications are current and properly scoped.
Traceability and counterfeit prevention: Defense electrical components require robust supply chain documentation. Prepare detailed certificates of conformance, material traceability records, and counterfeit avoidance procedures.
Delivery performance: Assess your production capacity against required delivery schedules. NAVSUP WSS emphasizes readiness support; late deliveries on prior contracts can disadvantage your evaluation.
Pricing strategy: Without a set-aside, expect full-and-open competition. Analyze your cost structure for commercial versus defense pricing, and determine whether FAR Part 12 commercial-item procedures apply.
Past performance: Gather documentation of relevant switchgear/switchboard deliveries to defense or industrial customers, especially under similar FSC codes or NAVSUP contracts.
