Small Business Teaming / Joint Venture Opportunity

A strategic partnership opportunity is available for small businesses, including those certified as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB, to team with a prime contractor in support of a Department of Defense procurement under NAICS code 336510, which relates to ship and boat building and repairing. The intent is to foster collaboration that meets federal socioeconomic objectives while improving the overall competitiveness of the proposed solution. This subcontract opportunity is structured to enable small businesses to gain meaningful participation in defense-related contracts through joint ventures or teaming arrangements with the prime contractor, leveraging their certifications to fulfill set-aside requirements and strengthen the proposal's compliance with federal small business goals. The solicitation is open with a response deadline of July 27, 2026, and all interested parties must engage through the designated DIBBS platform to submit their expressions of interest or proposals. There is no specified place of performance or point of contact listed, and no formal set-aside type is defined, emphasizing the flexibility of the partnership model over traditional procurement structures.
