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.
