Small Business or Socioeconomic Category Supplier Participation

This contract opportunity is designed to enable certified small businesses—including Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), and HUBZone firms—to participate as subcontractors under a prime contractor’s socioeconomic compliance obligations. The solicitation focuses on fulfilling reporting requirements tied to the North American Industry Classification System code 334418, which pertains to other computer peripheral equipment manufacturing. Participation is contingent upon the prime contractor’s need to meet federal small business subcontracting goals, offering certified firms a pathway to engage in government-funded work without competing directly for the prime award. The opportunity is open for responses from August 4, 2026, through August 19, 2026, and is administered by the Maritime Supply Chain division within the Department of Defense. While no specific place of performance or point of contact is listed, interested entities must register through the DIBBS system via the provided online portal to submit their interest and qualify for potential subcontracting roles.
