What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy is seeking 19 units of NSN 1680-01-610-8983, described as a 100 W Filter PA,AIR. These units are needed for repair or modification. This is a flight-critical item, meaning it is essential for aircraft operation and safety. The delivery terms are FOB origin, which means the buyer takes ownership and responsibility for the goods at the seller's shipping dock.
This is a Request for Information (RFI), not a request for competitive proposals. The government is primarily interested in identifying sources capable of providing these specific filters. Only previously approved sources were directly solicited, but new sources can submit capability information.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This RFI was published on September 11, 2026. The deadline for responses is October 27, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. While this is not a competitive solicitation, any proposals, quotations, or capability statements received within 45 days of the publication date will be considered by the government. If an award is issued under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA), the consideration period is 30 days.
The government will use the information received to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible. A decision not to compete this proposed contract based on responses is at the government's discretion.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is an RFI, a well-prepared capability statement can make a difference. Clearly demonstrate your firm's expertise with flight-critical components and your capacity for repair or modification. Highlight any existing certifications or quality control processes relevant to aerospace or defense equipment.
If you are a new source, start the engineering approval process as soon as possible. Provide all requested technical data and documentation thoroughly and accurately. Emphasize any unique design capabilities, engineering skills, or manufacturing knowledge your company possesses that are relevant to this specific filter or similar items. Ensure your submission addresses all points outlined in the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Information Brochures.
