Small Business Joint Venture or Teaming Partner

A small business is invited to form a joint venture or teaming arrangement to qualify for a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 333618, which pertains to other arms, ammunition, and parts manufacturing. The opportunity is structured to enable eligible small businesses to collaborate in order to meet the prime contractor requirements typically reserved for small businesses, ensuring compliance with federal procurement set-aside provisions. This partnership must be structured to satisfy all regulatory criteria for small business representation and must be formally documented to demonstrate joint ownership, control, and performance responsibilities. The solicitation is managed by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, with a response deadline of July 23, 2026, and a posting date of July 8, 2026. This is a subcontracting opportunity, meaning the winning joint venture will be positioned to bid as a prime contractor on a future contract, not to fulfill a current subcontract. The place of performance and point of contact details are not specified, and applicants should refer to the official DIBBS link for full solicitation materials, eligibility criteria, and submission guidelines. Participation requires strict adherence to small business size standards and joint venture regulations under federal procurement rules.
