N0010426QBH00 “CONTROL,ALARM” (PSC 6350): How to Quote Fast Without Missing the Compliance Traps

Executive takeaway

This NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (Mechanicsburg) RFQ for “CONTROL,ALARM” (solicitation N0010426QBH00) is a parts-style buy with a heavy compliance wrapper: Item Unique Identification (IUID), WAWF payment, FOB Destination, a cited higher-level quality requirement (MIL-I-45208), and multiple security/supply-chain clauses (including a Notice of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level Requirements (NOV 2025) and Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act Orders—Prohibition). If you can source/manufacture within NAICS 335311 and can cleanly certify compliance, this is the kind of short-turn quote that can be winnable—provided you confirm set-aside status (the amendment language suggests changes) and align your quote validity window.

What the buyer is trying to do

The buyer is issuing a Navy supply procurement for an alarm/control item under PSC 6350. The solicitation text emphasizes standardized inspection/acceptance terms, invoicing through WAWF, and federal compliance clauses that typically apply to delivered hardware.

One notable note in the snippet: “THIS AMENDMENT IS ISSUED TO DISSOLVE THE SBSA AND UPDATE THE CLAUSES…” That language implies the solicitation’s set-aside posture may have changed and must be verified in the current amended package.

What work is implied (bullets)

• Prepare a compliant hardware supply quote for “CONTROL,ALARM” under solicitation N0010426QBH00.
• Meet IUID requirements (Item Unique Identification and Valuation (JAN 2023)).
• Perform under Inspection of Supplies—Fixed-Price (AUG 1996) and the solicitation’s Inspection and Acceptance – Short Version terms.
• Comply with the referenced higher-level quality requirement (MIL-I-45208 is cited in the snippet).
• Deliver FOB Destination (per General Information—FOB Destination).
• Invoice through WAWF per Wide Area Workflow Payment Instructions (JAN 2023) using “Invoice and Receiving Reports (COMBO)” (details are shown as TBD / “See schedule”).
• Acknowledge and flow down applicable restrictions and certifications, including:
• Notice of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level Requirements (NOV 2025) (level details not shown in snippet—verify in attachments).
• Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act Orders—Prohibition (DEC 2023).
• Buy American / Balance of Payments representations and annual reps & certs (as listed in the snippet; confirm exact clause set in the amended RFQ).
• Account for government rights such as Stop-Work Order (AUG 1989).
• Ensure your pricing validity matches the stated expectation (snippet states pricing valid for 90 days after closing date unless otherwise specified).

Who should bid / who should pass (bullets)

• Bid if:
• You manufacture or distribute products aligned to NAICS 335311 and can support delivery under standard Navy inspection/acceptance terms.
• You have an established process for IUID marking/serialization and can document compliance.
• You can transact cleanly via WAWF and can meet the solicitation’s invoicing/receiving workflow.
• You can certify compliance with supply-chain/security prohibitions referenced in the clauses.
• Pass if:
• You cannot meet IUID requirements or lack a reliable approach to implement them for this item.
• Your organization is not positioned to comply with the cited security/supply-chain restrictions (or cannot verify conformance in writing).
• You cannot hold pricing for the required validity window (the snippet references 90 days after closing).
• You cannot deliver under the stated shipping term (FOB Destination).

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

• Signed/acknowledged RFQ and any amendments (verify in attachments for exact acknowledgment method).
• Completed quote with:
• Unit/extended pricing (format and CLIN structure: verify in attachments).
• Statement of pricing validity (snippet expects 90 days unless you specify otherwise).
• Compliance statement for:
• IUID (DFARS/FAR language referenced: verify in attachments).
• Inspection of Supplies—Fixed-Price and inspection/acceptance terms.
• WAWF invoicing using “Invoice and Receiving Reports (COMBO)” (routing codes/ship-to are shown as TBD / “See schedule”—verify in attachments).
• FOB Destination shipping term.
• MIL-I-45208 higher-level quality requirement (as cited).
• Notice of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level Requirements (NOV 2025) (verify in attachments for required level/attestation language).
• Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act Orders—Prohibition compliance statement.
• Annual representations and certifications as required (the snippet lists Alternate A / annual reps & certs; exact completion method: verify in attachments).

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

• Start with internal comparables: prior awards/quotes for PSC 6350 alarm/control hardware delivered to DoD customers, especially if your prior builds included IUID and WAWF overhead.
• Cost out compliance explicitly: treat IUID implementation, inspection documentation, and clause-driven certification work as real labor (even on “simple” parts buys).
• Check the amendment impact: the snippet says the amendment dissolves the SBSA and updates clauses. Before sharpening price, confirm whether competition dynamics changed (e.g., if a set-aside posture changed) in the current package.
• Quote to the shipping term: FOB Destination means you own shipping cost/risk to the destination. Build in packaging/transport conservatively unless the schedule provides government shipping or other direction (verify in attachments).
• Don’t over-promise on terms: if you need exceptions, state them clearly; otherwise assume award will be based on full compliance with the solicitation language.

Subcontracting / teaming ideas (bullets)

• Partner with an IUID marking/serialization service if you do not perform IUID in-house (ensure their process meets the contract’s IUID clause requirements—verify in attachments).
• Use a packaging/fulfillment subcontractor experienced with DoD shipments if special packaging/labeling appears in the schedule (verify in attachments).
• If supply-chain restrictions raise sourcing concerns, line up a secondary compliant distributor/manufacturer to avoid late disqualification under the supply-chain prohibition clause.

Risks & watch-outs (bullets)

• Set-aside ambiguity: the text references dissolving an SBSA. Confirm the current competitive posture and whether any small business set-aside still applies.
• CMMC notice present: the snippet includes a Notice of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level Requirements (NOV 2025). Required level/attestation details are not shown—confirm in the full RFQ/amendment.
• Supply chain prohibition clause: the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act Orders—Prohibition clause can impact what manufacturers/components are acceptable. Validate your sourcing before quoting.
• WAWF details are TBD: several WAWF routing/data fields show as TBD or “See schedule.” Missing these can delay invoicing/payment—make sure the schedule provides the final values.
• Stop-work exposure: the contract includes Stop-Work Order language; avoid front-loading nonrecoverable costs without protections.
• Quote validity requirement: the solicitation expects pricing valid for 90 days after closing unless otherwise specified—ensure your supply chain can support that.
