How to bid on P-8 Aircraft environmental control valve repair for the Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy needs repair services for one environmental control air valve assembly. This specific valve is for a P-8 aircraft that is destined for Norway. The Navy is looking for contractors to provide all necessary labor, materials, and facilities to repair and/or modify this item.
While the Navy intends to work with a specific single source, they are open to considering capability statements and proposals from other responsible small businesses. This is an opportunity for specialized repair firms to demonstrate their ability to handle critical aircraft components.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This solicitation was published on July 21, 2026. The deadline for submitting proposals is August 20, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET. It is important to note that any proposals received within five days after the publication of this solicitation notice will be considered by the Government.
The government will review all submissions received by the deadline. A decision on whether to proceed with a competitive contract based on responses is at the government's discretion.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is best suited for firms with expertise in repairing environmental control air valve assemblies, particularly those with experience related to P-8 aircraft or similar naval weapon systems. The specific part number is 423785-3 and the NSN is 7RH 1660 016686584.

Even though the government intends to solicit from a single source, a strong capability statement can demonstrate your firm's expertise and potentially open doors for future opportunities. Clearly articulate your experience with similar repair services, especially for aircraft components or naval systems.
If you are not an approved source, ensure your proposal includes all required source approval information. This demonstrates your readiness and compliance.
