How to bid on Flap ASSY repair and modification for the DEPT of the Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy is seeking repair services for flap assemblies. This solicitation is for increasing the quantity of repairs from one to three flap assemblies. This is an opportunity for businesses specializing in equipment repair to work with the Navy.
The contract requires specific repair turnaround times and the use of approved materials. Notably, MIL-W-81381 wire must be replaced with SAE-AS22759 series wire during repairs. Items coated with yellow paint must be stripped and repainted with white coating systems using specified primers.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This solicitation was published on July 10, 2026. All bids are due by August 10, 2026, at 4:30 PM ET. This deadline is firm, and proposals submitted after this time will likely not be considered.
The Navy will assess consideration if the contractor does not meet the established Repair Turnaround Time (RTAT) of 119 days after receipt of the asset. An induction expiration date of 365 days after contract award applies, meaning assets received after this date require bilateral agreement for repair.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms with expertise in repairing and modifying specialized equipment, particularly those familiar with aviation or defense components. Vendors should have capabilities in precision repair, material replacement, and painting processes according to military specifications.
Companies with a NAICS code of 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and a size standard of 1250 employees may find this relevant. Experience with government contracting quality requirements and payment systems like Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) is beneficial.

Provide a clear throughput constraint for each National Stock Number (NSN) as requested. Highlight your ability to meet the 119-day Repair Turnaround Time (RTAT) and outline your quality control procedures to ensure compliance with all specifications.
