Small Business Supplier for Disadvantaged-Owned Manufacturing (SDB/WOSB)

This subcontract opportunity is designed for small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned small businesses, or 8(a)-certified manufacturers to provide lower-tier components or raw materials in support of a prime contractor’s socioeconomic obligations under a Department of Defense contract. The effort falls under NAICS code 332994, which covers other fabricated metal product manufacturing, and is tied to the Defense Logistics Agency’s broader supply chain initiatives aimed at fostering participation from certified small and disadvantaged businesses. Participation enables these firms to contribute to critical defense-related manufacturing while meeting federal contracting goals for socioeconomically disadvantaged entities. The prime contractor is obligated to fulfill specific small business utilization targets through this subcontract arrangement, and eligible manufacturers will be integrated into the supply chain as essential suppliers of materials or components. Though no solicitation number or point of contact is listed, the opportunity is accessible through the DIBBS platform using the provided contract and delivery identifiers. Performance locations are not specified, suggesting potential national or multi-site execution based on supplier capabilities. The posting date indicates this opportunity is anticipated for future award activity beginning in 2026, allowing certified businesses time to prepare proposals and align production capacity with anticipated demand.
