Small Business Subcontracting Participation (Administrative Support)

Small businesses are invited to position themselves as preferred suppliers for future call-offs under similar National Stock Numbers, providing administrative support within the maritime supply chain. Although no formal subcontracting plan is required, there is a strong expectation that prime contractors will voluntarily source services from small businesses, creating meaningful opportunities for participation. The contract category is classified under NAICS code 423610, which relates to merchant wholesalers of hardware and plumbing and heating equipment, aligning with logistical and supply chain support functions. The opportunity is administered by the Department of Defense through the Maritime Supply Chain office, with performance expected to occur at the FPO address, indicating deployment or operational support in maritime or expeditionary environments. Interested parties must respond by the deadline of July 27, 2026, with the solicitation open for submission through the DIBBS platform until that date, allowing qualified small businesses to register their capacity and capabilities for potential future tasking.
