Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open competition with no small-business set-aside. Any qualified business—large or small—may submit an offer. This means small businesses compete directly against larger defense contractors and original equipment manufacturers.
Under NAICS 334513, eligible offerors are generally manufacturers or distributors of process control instruments, including pressure transmitters, transducers, and related sensing equipment. If you do not manufacture the item yourself, you may bid as a distributor or value-added reseller, but verify whether the solicitation requires sole-source justification, OEM authorization, or domestic production under the Buy American Act or Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) restrictions. See the solicitation for any specific qualification requirements, security clearances, or approved sources.
How to put together a competitive bid
For full-and-open NAVSUP electronics procurements, competitiveness hinges on technical compliance, traceability, and delivery certainty:
- Obtain the specification package through SAM.gov or the NAVSUP WSS website. Look for the military specification (MIL-SPEC) or commercial item description, engineering drawings, and any interchangeability-and-replaceability requirements.
- Confirm parts pedigree: NAVSUP WSS typically requires traceability to the original design activity or an approved alternate source. If you are not the OEM, secure a letter of supply or authorized distributor agreement before bidding.
- Address obsolescence and shelf life: Pressure transmitters for weapon systems often face Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) challenges. Document your proposed source's production status and any qualification testing required for alternate parts.
- Price realistically: Full-and-open competition means established defense suppliers with existing NAVSUP relationships may bid aggressively. Factor in all costs including any special packaging, bar coding, and Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) invoicing requirements.
- Review DFARS clauses: Expect flow-downs for counterfeit electronics prevention (DFARS 252.246-7007), traceability, and possibly ITAR if the transmitter contains controlled technical data.
- Submit through the designated portal: NAVSUP WSS typically uses the FLIP (Fleet Logistics Integrated Portal) or directed instructions in the solicitation, not just SAM.gov upload.
