How to bid on Common Drive PWA Repair/Modification for the DEPT of the Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy, specifically NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS), is seeking repair services for nine Common Drive PWA units, part number 600-42008. These units are to be delivered to DLA distribution centers in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, and Tracy, California.
While NAVSUP WSS intends to award this as a sole-source contract to L3 Harris Maritime Power & Energy Solutions, other firms can still submit capability statements. This is an opportunity to demonstrate your firm's ability to perform this type of repair, even if you are not the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Request for Information (RFI) published on July 22, 2026. The approximate issue date for the formal Solicitation/RFP is August 5, 2026, with an approximate response/closing date of September 3, 2026. The anticipated award date is September 18, 2026.
If you intend to submit a capability statement, it must be received within 45 days after the date of publication of this synopsis. Information received will be considered to determine if a competitive procurement is possible. The government will not delay this procurement to wait for Source Approval Request (SAR) approvals.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is best suited for firms with proven capabilities in the repair of complex electronic components, specifically within the technology category (NAICS Code 334111). While the Navy expects to use a sole-source process, firms that can demonstrate they possess the necessary repair data or equivalent capabilities should respond.
This procurement is not set aside for small businesses. The primary focus is on firms that can meet the specific technical requirements for repairing the Common Drive PWA units.

Practical tips for a competitive response
When preparing your capability statement, clearly articulate your firm's experience with similar repair work. Focus on specific examples that demonstrate your technical expertise and ability to handle components like the Common Drive PWA, part number 600-42008.
Highlight any certifications, specialized equipment, or proprietary processes that give your firm an advantage. Even though the Navy anticipates a sole-source award, a strong capability statement can open doors for future opportunities or even lead to a competitive procurement if your firm can demonstrate it can meet the agency's needs.
