    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do shipyards win Navy and Coast Guard contracts?
    Shipyards compete through NAVSEA and SUPSHIP solicitations for new construction, modernization, and depot-level repair. Success requires strong past performance on similar hulls, certified welding and QA programs, cleared facilities when required, and disciplined pricing on complex work packages. SamSearch surfaces ship repair availabilities, multi-ship IDIQs, and long-range procurement forecasts so teams can plan capture before RFP release.
    What NAICS codes apply to marine and shipbuilding work?
    Common codes include 336611 for shipbuilding and repairing, 488320 for marine cargo handling in some services contexts, and related manufacturing or specialty trade codes for subcontractors. Army Corps and civil works projects may align with heavy civil NAICS. SamSearch lets you layer multiple NAICS and PSC filters to match your yard capabilities.
    Does SamSearch track classified or restricted solicitations?
    SamSearch focuses on publicly posted opportunities and procurement signals. Some programs require access to secure networks separately; use SamSearch to monitor related unclassified presolicitations, sources sought, and forecast data that indicate upcoming classified work.
