This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete for the award. The requirement is not new, as it was previously awarded under contract N0017418D0014. The contract structure includes a base year with four optional 12-month periods exercisable at the Government's discretion, establishing a total anticipated period of performance from June 30, 2026, through June 30, 2031. The work falls under NAICS code 332710 (Machine Shops) and PSC code 2845 (Rocket Engines and Components). While no specific award value or quantity details are provided in this pre-solicitation notice, the five-year contract duration and technical nature of the ballast hardware kits suggest a substantive procurement opportunity for qualified small business manufacturers capable of precision fabrication and tooling design.
