Who can bid
This solicitation is unrestricted—no set-aside program is listed, meaning businesses of any size may compete. Large businesses, small businesses, and non-traditional defense contractors are all eligible to submit offers.
Small businesses can still participate and should register their interest in SAM.gov and consider whether this NAICS code aligns with their primary business activities. The NAICS 333998 has a Small Business Administration size standard based on employee count or average annual receipts (see the solicitation or SBA.gov for the specific threshold).
Companies outside the 333998 industry may bid if they can demonstrate capability to supply perforated sheet screen material meeting Navy specifications.
How to put together a competitive bid
Since this is an unrestricted procurement for industrial material, consider these factors:
Technical compliance: Perforated sheet screen has precise specifications—hole pattern, gauge, material alloy, dimensions, and tolerances. See the solicitation for exact requirements. Obtain or verify any applicable military or federal specifications referenced.
Past performance: NAVSUP values reliable delivery of industrial materials. Document your experience supplying similar products to defense or industrial customers, including quality certifications and on-time delivery rates.
Pricing strategy: Full and open competition typically means competing against established metal suppliers and distributors. Competitive pricing matters, but ensure your quote covers all costs including any required testing, certification, or special packaging for government shipment.
Source of supply: If you're a distributor rather than manufacturer, clarify your supply chain and ability to meet volume and delivery requirements. The Navy may require domestic sourcing under the Berry Amendment or Buy American Act—see the solicitation for applicable restrictions.
Quality systems: ISO 9001 certification or similar quality management systems may be relevant. Check whether the solicitation requires specific quality plans or inspection protocols.
