Deadlines Soon: SETS CSO cancellation, Coast Guard fuel test kit, DLA/Navy electronics & repair actions, and GSA MAS notices

Executive takeaway

Most of the actionable items here are small, highly specific supply buys (circuit card assemblies, aircraft component assemblies, and a fuel test kit with calibration) where speed, traceability, and meeting embedded quality/packaging clauses tend to matter more than creative technical narratives. Two items to treat differently: the DCSA eLearning CSO is explicitly marked as a cancellation, and the Navy repair/modification notice reads like a notice of intent with one-source language—still worth submitting a capability statement if you can legitimately compete it, but don’t assume it’s a standard open RFQ.

What the buyer is trying to do

DCSA: SETS eLearning platform (canceled)

The “Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) for the Security Education and Training System (SETS) eLearning Platform” is labeled CANCELLATION. With no description snippet provided, treat this as informational unless attachments indicate otherwise.

US Coast Guard: fuel test kit + calibration

The Coast Guard’s Aviation Logistics Center is seeking the purchase of one (1) fuel test kit along with calibration (NAICS 334516; PSC 6630). This looks like an instrumentation buy where documentation and calibration deliverables will drive acceptance.

DLA / Navy: electronics and component actions

Several DLA Aviation/DLA Maritime and Navy Weapon Systems Support actions point to ongoing sustainment: circuit card assemblies and an aircraft receiver mainframe assembly, plus a mechanism assembly action described as repair/modification. One circuit card RFQ snippet highlights an ISO 9001-or-higher quality requirement and states no drawings are available, which will shape how you bid (eligible sources, prior builds, or approved alternates).

GSA: Multiple Award Schedule notices

Multiple postings reference the GSA Multiple Award Schedule solicitation number 47QSMD20R0001 (with different NAICS in the notices). With no description snippet provided, treat these as MAS-related notices rather than a conventional one-off delivery order opportunity.

What work is implied (bullets)

• Provide a fuel test kit and deliver calibration per the solicitation/attachments (verify specifics in attachments).
• Manufacture and/or supply circuit card assemblies for DLA (at least two separate notices list this item).
• Support quality and compliance clauses that appear in the circuit card RFQ snippet, including higher-level contract quality requirements (ISO 9001 or higher is explicitly referenced) and standard inspection/payment/representation provisions (verify full clause set in the schedule/attachments).
• Quote delivery schedules (one snippet references delivery line structure and delivery timing fields; verify required lead times in attachments).
• For the Navy mechanism assembly repair/modification action: prepare to address NSN-based requirements, reference numbers, quantity, FOB origin, and potential acceptance of early and incremental deliveries as stated in the notice snippet.
• For the DLA Aviation “RCVR MAINFRAME ASSY” action: supply the specified assembly (no description snippet provided; verify details in attachments).
• If pursuing the DCSA SETS CSO: first confirm whether anything remains actionable given the explicit cancellation.
• If pursuing GSA MAS items: confirm whether the notice is simply the standing MAS solicitation and what, if anything, is required before any task/order competition (verify in attachments).

Who should bid / who should pass (bullets)

• Bid if you are an established supplier/manufacturer for aviation/defense electronics, including circuit card assemblies (NAICS 334412) and can meet ISO 9001-or-higher quality expectations referenced in the RFQ snippet.
• Bid if you sell metrology/instrumentation products (NAICS 334516) and can provide calibration documentation and traceable calibration services for the fuel test kit.
• Bid on the Navy repair/mod action only if you can map your capability to the NSN/reference requirements and can credibly challenge a one-source posture via capability submission (the notice text references FAR 6.302-1 intent).
• Pass if you require drawings/spec packages to quote: one circuit card assembly notice explicitly states no drawings are available for this RFQ.
• Pass if you are not prepared for government invoicing/receiving workflows (the circuit card snippet references Wide Area Workflow payment instructions; verify the exact method in the schedule).
• Pass on the SETS CSO unless attachments contradict the headline cancellation status.

Response package checklist (bullets; if unknown say “verify in attachments”)

• Signed offer/quote cover sheet and completed solicitation forms (verify in attachments).
• Line-item pricing and delivery/lead time by CLIN/line (verify CLIN structure in attachments).
• Product identification: manufacturer, part number, and compliance to referenced specs/standards (verify in attachments).
• Quality documentation: ISO 9001 (or higher) evidence if required (explicitly referenced in the circuit card RFQ snippet).
• Warranty terms if required (the circuit card RFQ snippet references a warranty clause; verify details in attachments).
• Calibration certificate and calibration scope/details for the Coast Guard fuel test kit purchase (verify in attachments).
• Any required representations/certifications referenced in the solicitation (verify in attachments).
• Shipping/FOB terms acknowledgement (one notice snippet specifies FOB origin; verify all shipping terms in attachments).
• Capability statement (particularly for the Navy notice-of-intent style posting referencing FAR 6.302-1), including prior relevant builds and ability to meet delivery/quality requirements (verify submission instructions in attachments).

Pricing & strategy notes (how to research pricing; do not invent pricing numbers)

These look like buys where the government often compares quotes against recent procurement history and market benchmarks rather than weighting long narratives. To tighten pricing:

• Use the solicitation number and NSN/reference identifiers (where provided) to research prior awards and historical buy quantities/prices in your internal sales history and publicly available award data (where accessible).
• For circuit card assemblies: account for compliance costs implied by clauses (inspection/quality requirements and any marking/UID requirements referenced in the snippet). If no drawings are available, price the risk of ambiguity appropriately—either via clear assumptions in your quote or by declining if the risk is unpriceable.
• For the fuel test kit: separate (or clearly describe) what is included in the kit versus calibration (initial calibration, certificate, and any recommended recalibration interval if the solicitation requests it—verify in attachments).
• For repair/modification style work: look for language on incremental/early deliveries (explicitly stated in the Navy snippet) and consider whether faster partial deliveries can improve competitiveness without increasing risk.

Subcontracting / teaming ideas (bullets)

• Pair an electronics manufacturer with a specialty test/inspection house to support quality and acceptance documentation when higher-level quality requirements apply (verify acceptance criteria in attachments).
• For the fuel test kit: team with (or source from) an authorized calibration provider if you supply the hardware but don’t perform calibration in-house.
• For repair/modification: consider teaming with a depot-level repair specialist for the specific mechanism assembly/NSN family if your core strength is logistics and compliance rather than hands-on repair.

Risks & watch-outs (bullets)

• Cancellation risk: the SETS CSO is labeled as a cancellation—confirm status before spending bid time.
• One-source posture: the Navy mechanism assembly posting states intent to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1; treat your submission as an “interest and capability” response unless the attachments indicate an open competition.
• No drawings available: one circuit card RFQ states no drawings are available, which raises fit/compatibility and acceptance risk—ensure your quote states exactly what you are offering and what you relied on.
• Quality requirements: ISO 9001-or-higher is explicitly referenced; if you cannot substantiate compliance, expect rejection or elevated scrutiny.
• Timing: several deadlines are clustered in late January—plan for internal approvals, supplier lead times, and any portal submission steps (verify method in attachments).

How to act on this

1. Open each notice and pull the full solicitation/attachments; don’t rely on the short synopsis (several are blank or truncated).
2. Confirm which actions are true RFQs vs. notices of intent vs. MAS notices—and match your response type accordingly.
3. Build a same-day compliance matrix: delivery, quality (ISO 9001-or-higher where applicable), warranty, invoicing instructions, and any “no drawings available” constraints.
4. Submit questions early if the attachments allow it; otherwise, document assumptions explicitly in your quote.
