How to bid on Amplifier-modulator Repair/modification for the DEPT of the Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy is seeking repair services for 58 aircraft amplifier-modulators, part number 5D89702G01. These repaired units will be delivered to DLA distribution centers in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, and Tracy, California.
This is an opportunity for businesses that can provide specialized repair services for this specific aircraft component. While Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation is the intended sole-source provider, other companies are invited to submit their capabilities for consideration.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Request for Information (RFI) published on July 24, 2026. The deadline for submitting capability statements, proposals, or quotations is September 08, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. The formal solicitation is expected around August 7, 2026, with responses due around September 7, 2026.
The Navy intends to consider all submissions received within 45 days of the original publication date. The information gathered will help the agency determine if a competitive procurement is feasible. An award is anticipated around September 22, 2026.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is best suited for firms with expertise in the repair and modification of aircraft amplifier-modulators, specifically those familiar with part number 5D89702G01. The NAICS code for this procurement is 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing) and the PSC is 5895 (Miscellaneous Communication Equipment).
Given the Navy's stated intent to sole-source to Northrop Grumman due to a lack of technical data, this is particularly relevant for companies that can demonstrate an existing capability or have a strong argument for why they can meet the requirement despite the data limitations. Firms not already approved to manufacture this material must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR), though the procurement will not be delayed for SAR approval.

Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is an intended sole-source procurement, a well-prepared capability statement can still be valuable. Clearly articulate your firm's experience with similar amplifier-modulator repair services, especially for aircraft components. Highlight any specific technical expertise or certifications relevant to this type of work.
If you believe your company can meet the requirement, provide detailed evidence of your ability to perform the repairs, including any relevant past performance or specialized equipment. Address how you would overcome the challenge of the government's lack of technical data, if applicable. Ensure your submission is concise, professional, and directly addresses the Navy's stated need.
