Dimension scores
Total
- 15/100
Technical Fit
- 2/20
Commodity cable assembly buy with approved sources (NSN 6150016571756). This is outside Trace’s core SATCOM/CDS/SE&I/IT O&M lanes and falls under NAICS 335311, which is listed as a registered NAICS with lower BD priority in the company profile.
Past Performance
- 3/20
Trace past performance centers on DISA MPE, Army/USAF comms/IT, SATCOM, JADC2, and SE&I. No evidence of DLA Aviation commodity manufacturing/supply as an approved source. Agency overlap with DLA (JETS 2.0) exists but mission type is not related to aviation supply.
Vehicles / Contract Access
- 6/10
Open SAM RFQ; not restricted to a vehicle we lack. However, it is not issued on a Trace prime vehicle and is a small-business set-aside commodity buy.
Competitive Position
- 1/15
Approved sources listed (CAGEs 17476, 24727, 96169). Trace is not listed, indicating we are an underdog with likely barrier to compete absent OEM teaming or source approval.
Risk
- 2/15
High likelihood of disqualification due to approved-source constraint and absence of drawings/specs. NAICS 335311 manufacturing scope adds execution and compliance risk for Trace.
Strategic Value
- 0/10
Very low-dollar, low-quantity commodity procurement in a low-priority NAICS; no pathway to strategic customers or core capability expansion.
Compliance
- 1/10
Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 335311 with approved-source constraints. Trace’s small-business eligibility under this NAICS is not confirmed in evidence, and Trace is not an approved source for the NSN; both create significant compliance risk.
Concerns
- Approved-source limitation excludes Trace unless teamed with an approved OEM or after a successful SAR (time-consuming).
- No specs/drawings available; limited ability to propose alternates or equivalents.
- NAICS 335311 manufacturing scope not aligned to Trace core capabilities.
- Potential small business eligibility uncertainty under NAICS 335311 without confirmation.
- Low quantity may reduce OEM teaming interest and margin.
Teaming opportunities
- Lack of approved-source/OEM partner for NSN 6150-01-657-1756.
- Need DLA Aviation supply-chain fulfillment capability for source-controlled parts, including quality and packaging compliance (MIL-STD) if applicable.
Competitive position
- None evident; commodity, approved-source controlled item with no Trace differentiator.
Bid/No bid factors
- Approved sources list does not include Trace.
- Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 335311 may not align with Trace’s verified SB status for this NAICS.
- Attachments referenced on SAM were not available in the package; only metadata was analyzed.
- Very small quantity (8 EA) limits strategic or financial upside.
