The Navy needs a small business to manufacture proof plates for its weapon systems.

Key Details

  • What exactly do they need? The Navy needs proof plates for its weapon systems. The plates must meet specific material and physical requirements as specified in the drawing 2762023 REV_C. Each plate must be individually bagged due to low demand and shelf life requirements.
  • What's the contract structure and timeline? This is a fixed-price contract with a delivery schedule. The contract will last for the base year plus option years, but the exact duration is not specified.
  • How will they pick the winner? The Navy will evaluate proposals based on the lowest price technically acceptable.
  • When and how do you bid? Proposals are due on July 27, 2026, and must be submitted through the Electronic Solicitation on SAM.gov.

Routine commodity buy — low-effort bid, modest payoff.

Who can apply

  • Must be a certified small business
  • Has experience with metal manufacturing
  • Has a quality management system in place

Heads up — easy to miss

  • The contractor must mark each plate with the date manufactured, date cured, date assembled, and date packed, as well as the expiration date.
  • The contractor must keep records of all inspection work for 365 calendar days after final delivery of supplies.

If you're interested, do this first

  • Check that your small business certification is still active in SAM.gov
  • Review the drawing 2762023 REV_C to ensure you understand the material and physical requirements
  • Contact the contracting officer to confirm the delivery schedule and other contract details
