How to bid on Navy hydraulic and pneumatic training supplies
What the Navy plans to buy
The Department of the Navy plans to buy hydraulic and pneumatic training systems, valves, pumps, cylinders, and cutaway models for classroom teaching and demonstrations at the Navy Gunner’s Mate Ready Relevant Learning Basic School in Norfolk, Virginia.
The notice is an RFI and presolicitation notice, not a request for quotes. The Navy says it intends to solicit directly from three known sources, so vendors should not treat this notice as an open quote request.
Key dates and the deadline
The notice was published October 26, 2026. Its listed deadline is November 10, 2026, at 9:00 AM ET.
The Navy anticipates award no later than January 15, 2027. Because this is a presolicitation notice, the November deadline should not be mistaken for a quote submission deadline.
Who this opportunity may suit
This opportunity may suit suppliers of hydraulic and pneumatic training equipment, including systems, valves, pumps, cylinders, and cutaway models used for instruction and demonstration.
The notice says the requirement will be solicited directly to three known sources. A vendor should not assume that the notice guarantees an opportunity to submit a quote.
How to access the notice
Click “View original source” on the opportunity page. If the first click opens the portal homepage, click it again to go to the bid.
A free account may be needed to view documents, though some bids do not require one. The notice lists Kendall Mulherin as the point of contact for questions.
Prepare for a possible solicitation
Review the notice and any available documents to understand which equipment the Navy plans to buy. Keep a record of questions and direct them to the listed point of contact.
If the Navy later issues a solicitation, compare its specifications and submission instructions carefully with the equipment your firm can supply. Prepare clear product information and pricing in the format and by the deadline stated in that solicitation.
