Precision Manufacturing of Engine Thermostat Housing

The contract calls for the manufacture and delivery of 29 precision-engineered thermostat housing components designed for engine systems, with strict adherence to military specifications to ensure performance under demanding operational conditions. All units must be produced and shipped under FOB Origin terms, meaning the supplier assumes full responsibility for the product until it is loaded onto the carrier at the point of origin, and the buyer assumes risk and cost from that point forward. The delivery timeline is tightly constrained with a 72-day ADO requirement, demanding efficient production scheduling and logistics coordination to meet the deadline. This is a small business set-aside contract under the SBA program, exclusively available to small businesses as defined by the SBA size standards for NAICS code 332999, which covers other fabricated metal product manufacturing. It is issued by the Strategic Acquisition Program Directorate within the Department of Defense and is structured as a subcontract. The solicitation opened on July 23, 2026, with responses due by August 7, 2026, providing potential vendors with a roughly two-week window to prepare and submit proposals. All performance and delivery obligations are tied to the supplier’s ability to meet technical, quality, and schedule criteria without extension.
