Small Business Set-Aside Participation (Prime Contractor Support)

Small businesses certified as Women-Owned Small Businesses, Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, or HUBZone firms are invited to participate in a Department of Defense procurement opportunity focused on the manufacture and supply of Load Constraint Bars. This is a total small business set-aside under the SBA’s guidelines, meaning only eligible small businesses may submit bids, with the prime contract awarded to a qualified small business entity. The NAICS code 332999 identifies the industry category as Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing, reflecting the specialized nature of the component being produced. The contract is structured as a subcontracting opportunity, implying that selected firms will either serve as prime contractors or be integrated into a prime contractor’s team to fulfill the requirement. Performance is centered at the DLA New Cumberland Facility in Pennsylvania with a zip code of 17070-5002, and responses must be submitted by August 17, 2026, following a posting date of August 5, 2026. The procurement is managed by the Department of Defense through its DLA New Cumberland facility, with full details accessible via the DIBBS platform.
