How to bid on Compressor Management System repair for the Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy, specifically NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Mechanicsburg, intends to acquire repair or modification services for two Compressor Management Systems. These systems are for aircraft use and will be delivered to DLA Distribution Norfolk, Virginia.
This is an opportunity for firms that can repair or modify specialized aircraft components. The Navy has identified this as an emergency acquisition.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The solicitation is expected to be issued around August 21, 2026. Responses are anticipated to be due around September 21, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. The anticipated award date is October 5, 2026.
While the Navy intends to award this on a sole-source basis, all proposals received within 45 days after the publication date of the synopsis will be considered. Information received will be used to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity primarily suits firms with expertise in the repair or modification of aircraft compressor management systems. The NAICS code for this procurement is 334112, Computer Storage Device Manufacturing, and the PSC is 7025, ADP Input/Output and Storage Devices. The Navy has identified RIX Industries as the sole-source provider due to their status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the lack of government-owned technical data.
Firms not currently approved to manufacture this material must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR). However, the procurement will not be delayed for SAR approval.

Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is an intent to sole-source, submitting a strong capability statement is crucial. Clearly demonstrate your firm's ability to meet the specific requirements for repairing or modifying the Compressor Management Systems. Highlight any relevant experience with similar aircraft components or with the identified part number A76-19607-6.
If your firm is not RIX Industries, emphasize your technical expertise and any proprietary data or processes you possess that would enable you to perform this work. Address how your firm can meet the delivery requirement to DLA Distribution Norfolk, Virginia, and adhere to Buy American Clauses and UID requirements. Ensure your submission is concise, professional, and directly addresses the Navy's stated need.
