Supplying PSC 1280 items?

Solicitations for supplies carry the manufacturer's NAICS code, so a distributor's wholesale NAICS will not find them. Add 1280 as a supply class on a free FedSift profile and these notices are matched to you, with the NSN, quantity and approved sources shown first. Or search every open 12 supply buy by NSN.

On a small-business set-aside, a reseller can bid as a nonmanufacturer: 500 or fewer employees, normally sells the item, takes possession of it, and supplies a product made in the US by a small manufacturer unless SBA waived that (13 CFR 121.406(b)).
