How to bid on Ice Protection Control Unit repair for the DEPT of the Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy needs repair services for two ice protection control units. These units have a National Stock Number (NSN) of 7R 1680 016010332 V2 and a Part Number (P/N) of 901-005-648-101.
The Navy intends to award this repair contract to Bell Textron Inc. on a sole-source basis. However, other companies can submit a capability statement to demonstrate they can also perform this repair. If the Navy receives sufficient interest and evidence of capability, they may decide to conduct a competitive procurement instead of a sole-source award.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Information (RFI) was published on July 15, 2026. The deadline for submitting your capability statement is August 15, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET.
All capability statements received by this deadline will be considered by the government. The information will help the Navy determine if a competitive procurement is feasible for this repair requirement.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is for firms experienced in the repair of specialized equipment, specifically control units for ice protection systems. Companies that can repair items with NSN 7R 1680 016010332 V2 and P/N 901-005-648-101 are relevant.
If your firm is not an already approved source for this material, you must also submit a separate Source Approval Request (SAR). Be aware that the procurement will not be delayed to wait for SAR approval.
How to respond to this RFI
To respond, you must submit your capabilities and qualifications by email. Send your submission to the NAVSUP WSS N7 Contract Specialist, Caitlin V. Donahue, at [email protected].
No telephone requests will be honored, and no hard copies will be mailed out. Electronic procedures will be used for this solicitation.
Tips for preparing a competitive response
When preparing your capability statement, clearly describe your firm's experience and technical ability to perform the specific repair required for the ice protection control units. Highlight any past performance with similar equipment or with the Department of the Navy.
If you are not an approved source, ensure your capability statement still clearly outlines your ability to meet the technical requirements. While SAR approval will not delay this specific procurement, a strong capability statement can still influence future competitive opportunities.
