How to respond to the Navy’s Jet Ejector market survey
What the Navy is seeking
The Department of the Navy’s Superintendent of Shipbuilding in Bath, Maine, is conducting market research for three water-operated jet ejectors, NSN 4320-00-256-8206, known part number 48S011.
This is a sources-sought notice and request for information, not a request for bids or quotes. It does not commit the government to issue a solicitation or award a contract. Vendors are being asked to describe their ability to supply the item.
Deadline and what it means
The notice was published October 21, 2026. Responses are due November 3, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
Submit your capability statement by the deadline. This is market research, so the response is not a bid for award.
Who this opportunity suits
The Navy is seeking potential manufacturers, remanufacturers, and distributors. The notice also asks firms to identify whether they are the original equipment manufacturer, an authorized distributor, a supplier with certified surplus, or an independent manufacturing facility.
The item’s baseline specifications include a water-operated pump rated for a maximum capacity of 18,000 gallons per hour, an aluminum body with plastic jet components, and six jets. Check that your sourcing and product information address the specified connections and materials.
