What the Navy is buying
NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia seeks repair of two government-owned P-3 aircraft trim tabs for South Korea. The work includes the labor, materials and parts needed to restore the items to operational condition.
The notice identifies one TAB, TRIM, AILERO, part number 801670-102, and one TAB AIL TRIM, part number 801670-101. The Navy intends to solicit only IMP Aerospace Avionics because it says the data needed to perform the repairs or manufacture the items is not available to the government.
Dates and what the deadline means
The notice was published October 1, 2026. The listed deadline is October 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM ET.
The notice says interested sources may submit proposals within five days after publication, and that the government will consider proposals received within that period. It also says this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The government decides whether to compete the proposed contract, and it will not delay award while a new source is awaiting approval.
Who this opportunity may suit
This opportunity is relevant to firms capable of repairing P-3 aircraft trim tabs and supplying the required labor, materials and parts. The Navy intends to solicit only IMP Aerospace Avionics, so another interested firm should take account of the limited-source approach and the source approval requirement.
A firm that is not an approved source must submit the information detailed in the NAVSUP-WSS Source Approval Information Brochure for Repair together with its proposal.

Prepare a focused response
Check the solicitation documents carefully for the repair details and submission instructions. Make sure your response clearly identifies both items by their listed descriptions and part numbers, and explains how your firm can provide the repair effort.
If you are not an approved source, prepare the required source approval information with your proposal. Because the notice says award will not be delayed while approval is pending, consider whether your approval status and response timing are realistic before committing resources.
