How to bid on AUX Control Panel S repair/modification for the DEPT of Defense
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Department of Defense, specifically the Navy, is looking for repair and modification services for two AUX Control Panel S units. The specific items are NSN 1680-016219045, part number 2000791-2. This is an opportunity for firms with relevant expertise in repairing specialized control panels for military applications.
The Navy plans to award this as a sole-source contract to L3 Harris Technologies. However, other capable firms are invited to submit their capability statements for consideration. This means the Navy is open to hearing from other potential suppliers who can demonstrate they can meet the requirement.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Information (RFI) was published on August 19, 2026. The deadline for submitting capability statements is October 05, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. Responses received within 45 days of the synopsis will be considered by the government.
While this is not a request for competitive proposals, the Navy will review all capability statements submitted by the deadline. This information will help the agency determine if a competitive procurement is possible in the future.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is best suited for firms with experience in the repair and modification of specialized equipment, particularly control panels, within the defense sector. The relevant NAICS code is 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and the FSC is 1680 (Aircraft Components and Accessories).
Firms that are Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) or have existing source approval for similar items would find this particularly relevant. However, any firm that believes it has the capability to repair these specific AUX Control Panel S units should consider responding.
