How to bid on distributing system repairs for the Department of the Navy

What the Navy is buying

The Department of the Navy is seeking repair, testing, and inspection of two distributing system units, NSN 6150-01-524-0935, with the goal of returning them to ready-for-issue condition. The contractor must provide the labor, parts, materials, facilities, and test equipment needed for the work.

The contract may cover up to 10 units over a period of up to two years. The Navy may place the initial order for any number of units up to the stated maximum, so vendors should consider both the initial quantity and the option pricing.

Key dates and the deadline

The solicitation was published October 6, 2026. Offers are due November 5, 2026, at 3:30 PM ET.

The initial induction period is 365 calendar days from contract award. The Navy may extend it by another 365 days, and unused induction slots from the first year may carry into the second year. Submit your response by the stated deadline and follow the solicitation’s instructions for delivery.

Who this opportunity suits

This RFP may suit a repair and overhaul firm with experience restoring equipment to ready-for-issue condition and the ability to inspect, test, repair or replace components, and reassemble units.

A suitable vendor will also need to provide its own required facilities, tooling, and test equipment unless the contract expressly identifies government-furnished property. The solicitation also states that MIL-W-81381 wire is prohibited and SAE-AS22759 series wire must be used where that wire is cited.

Prepare a clear, workable response

Build your technical response around how you will inspect, troubleshoot, repair or replace components, reassemble, test, and inspect each unit. Explain how your facilities, staff, parts, materials, and test equipment support the required work.

Price the initial quantity and options carefully. The solicitation asks for option pricing for a maximum of 10 units, including the initial quantity; provide separate second-year pricing if your prices will change after the first 365 days. Check that your pricing accounts for the possibility that the initial order may be for fewer than two units.

Before submitting, check that your response follows the solicitation’s instructions, includes all requested pricing and representations, and is complete well before the deadline.
