Small Business Subcontracting Participation (DBE/MBE/WBE/VOSB)

Small and socioeconomically disadvantaged businesses are invited to pursue subcontracting opportunities supporting naval vessel maintenance at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF, with a focus on roles in supply, application, or logistics. The opportunity is targeted toward certified disadvantaged business enterprises, minority business enterprises, women business enterprises, and veteran-owned small businesses, aiming to expand participation from underrepresented groups in defense-related industrial activities. The NAICS code 325510 indicates the work involves chemical and allied products manufacturing, suggesting the subcontract activities may include specialized materials, coatings, or support services critical to ship repair and maintenance. All proposals must be submitted by May 21, 2026, at 7:30 PM Eastern Time, with the opportunity posted on May 12, 2026, and performance expected to center around Seattle, Washington. There is no formal set-aside designation listed, but the initiative strongly encourages participation from eligible small and disadvantaged firms to enhance equity and capability within the defense industrial base.
