Small Business Subcontracting Participation (Set-Aside Opportunity)

Small businesses classified as SDVOSB, WOSB, or HUBZone are invited to engage in manufacturing, quality assurance, packaging, or logistics activities under a subcontracting opportunity tied to a Department of Defense contract. The prime contractor is required to meet specific subcontracting goals, creating a targeted pathway for eligible small businesses to participate in the supply chain supporting land-based defense operations. This opportunity is linked to NAICS Code 332721, which pertains to metal forging and stamping, indicating the work involves precision metal component production or related services. The solicitation opens on July 17, 2026, and responses are due by July 31, 2026, with all participation coordinated through the DLA’s DIBBS portal. While no specific location is listed, performance is expected to support the Land Supply Chain organization, and no set-aside designation is specified, meaning participation is driven by the prime contractor’s subcontracting obligations rather than a formal government set-aside.
