Small Business Set-Aside / DBE/MBE Participation

This contract is designated as a Small Business Set-Aside with potential participation opportunities for disadvantaged, minority-, or women-owned businesses through subcontracting, should future iterations include a formal subcontracting plan. The NAICS code 316999 indicates the work falls under Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing, and the contracting agency is the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense. The solicitation was posted on June 25, 2026, and is structured as a subcontracting opportunity rather than a direct award, meaning prime contractors may be expected to include eligible small and socially disadvantaged firms in their performance plans. While no specific place of performance or point of contact is provided, participation is contingent upon future contract revisions that incorporate subcontracting goals, offering pathways for qualified businesses to engage in defense-related manufacturing activities under federally supported programs.
