Padlock Set Manufacturing and Assembly

The contract calls for the manufacture and assembly of 115 government-specified padlock sets, requiring full integration of all components, adherence to military standards for quality and durability, and completion of packaging, labeling, and shipment preparation in accordance with defense requirements. All work must be performed to meet strict technical specifications and inspection criteria to ensure operational readiness and compliance with federal military protocols. The production must be carried out entirely by a small business as this is a total small business set-aside under SBA guidelines, and the NAICS code 332510 confirms the scope falls under manufacturing of hardware and locks. Performance is required at San Diego, with the work slated for delivery under the Department of Defense’s Land Supply Chain office. Bids must be submitted by August 3, 2026, and the solicitation is open exclusively to qualifying small businesses registered under the SBA’s program. The contract is structured as a subcontract, and all deliverables will be subject to final acceptance testing before shipment. The facility must be capable of end-to-end production, from raw material sourcing to final packaging, with documentation to verify compliance throughout the manufacturing lifecycle.
