What the government is buying
GSA Supply Chain Management seeks a supplier for NSN 5120001690215: a bracket used with hoisting equipment.

Who can bid
This opportunity is 100% set aside for small businesses. Your firm must qualify as small under NAICS 332216 (Sheet Metal Work Manufacturing), which carries a Small Business Administration size standard of 500 employees. This NAICS includes establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing sheet metal products—structural components, fabricated metal parts, and related items—by cutting, punching, bending, shaping, and assembling. A bracket for hoisting equipment falls squarely within this production scope.
You must be registered in SAM.gov with active status, have the requisite DUNS/UEI, and hold any needed quality certifications. GSA supply chain contracts for NSN items typically require compliance with military or federal specifications; see the solicitation for specific quality system requirements (ISO 9001, AS9100, or equivalent may apply).
How to put together a competitive bid
Verify your size status. Confirm your employee count averages 500 or fewer over the past 12 months. If you're close to the threshold, calculate carefully—size protests are common in GSA supply competitions.
Check your sourcing and capacity. NSN 5120001690215 implies standardized dimensions and materials. Determine whether you'll manufacture from raw stock or subcontract finishing operations. GSA often evaluates on past performance with similar NSN or FSC 5120 items; document any relevant delivery history.
Pricing must account for total evaluated cost. The solicitation likely includes transportation to Kansas City, MO. Freight terms, packaging for federal acceptance, and potential first-article inspection requirements will affect your bottom line. GSA supply chain contracts frequently use fixed-price line items with economic price adjustment clauses or multi-year options—see the solicitation for the specific contract duration and pricing structure.
Quality documentation. Prepare your quality assurance plan, material certifications, and any required test reports. NSN items typically demand traceability records and conformance to military or ASTM specifications.
Past performance citations. Gather Contract Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs) or Commercial Ratings from three relevant contracts of similar dollar value and complexity. GSA's Supply Chain Management division weights past performance heavily.
