1420-01-365-184 CWBO The solicitation for item 1420-01-365-184 CWBO, identified by solicitation number N0010425RK073, was issued by the Department of Defense through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mech in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, under a full and open competition with a NAICS code of 332993. The solicitation required offers to comply with strict technical acceptability criteria, with award to be made on a lowest priced, technically acceptable basis. Offerors were required to submit a completed Standard Form 33, Section B, and Section K, along with current and accurate representations and certifications in SAM, including compliance with FAR and DFARS provisions such as prohibitions on internal confidentiality agreements, disclosure of foreign ownership, trade agreements, and restrictions on child labor. Security requirements mandated adherence to NIST SP 800-171 standards for safeguarding Federal Contract Information and Controlled Unclassified Information, with mandatory flow-down of these clauses to subcontractors and prohibitions on using unmanned aircraft systems from covered foreign entities. The base quantity was 30 units, with an option for up to 133.3% of the base, and all options would be evaluated as part of the total proposed price. A safety survey was required, and drawings were available but not on CD. The solicitation included a prohibition on alternate proposals and stipulated that objections to any term would render an offer technically unacceptable. Despite the detailed administrative framework, including specific clauses for security, subcontracting, and certifications, the solicitation has been formally canceled as of Amendment 0009, with no contracts to be awarded under this notice. The posted date was June 22, 2026, and the original response deadline was July 28, 2026, though the cancellation renders these dates moot. No contract value, delivery schedule, or detailed specifications for the item itself were provided in the documentation. Point of contact information and the SAM.gov portal link were provided for compliance verification, but the solicitation's cancellation nullifies any obligation or opportunity for award, and all submission requirements are no longer active.
