How to bid on Motor, Alternating C, Repair/modification for the DEPT of the Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy is looking for repair or modification services for four specific alternating current motors, identified by National Stock Number (NSN) 6105-01-245-0981. This is an opportunity for businesses specializing in motor repair or modification to work with the Navy.
The delivery terms are FOB origin, meaning the seller is responsible for getting the goods to the shipping point, and the buyer takes ownership and risk from there. While the government expects to negotiate with a single source, they are open to considering other interested firms.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Information (RFI) was published on July 22, 2026. The deadline for submitting your interest, capability information, or quotes is September 08, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET.
Responses received within 45 days of the publication date will be considered. If an award is made under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA), responses received within 30 days will be considered. The government will use this information to decide if a competitive procurement is necessary.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms with expertise in the repair or modification of alternating current motors, particularly those familiar with the specified NSN 6105-01-245-0981. Businesses with a strong track record in supplies and services for government contracts, especially with the Department of Defense, are well-suited.
The government has stated it does not own the data or rights needed to purchase or contract repair from additional sources, and it is uneconomical to buy the data or reverse engineer the part. This suggests a need for vendors who already possess the necessary technical knowledge or capabilities for this specific motor.
