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 seeking information for the repair or modification of three alternating-current motors, specifically NSN 6105-01-436-5751. These motors are to be delivered FOB origin. While the government plans to negotiate with a single source due to not owning the necessary technical data, this is an opportunity for other businesses to show they can meet this need.
Responding to this Request for Information (RFI) allows your company to demonstrate its capabilities and potentially influence future procurement decisions, even if this specific contract is initially intended for a sole source. It's a chance to get on the Navy's radar for similar work.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This RFI was published on July 21, 2026. The deadline for submitting your interest or capability information is September 03, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. All responses received within 45 days of the publication date will be considered by the government. If an award is made under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA), responses within 30 days will be considered.
If you can satisfy the requirement with a commercial item, you should identify your interest and capability within 15 days of the notice. The government will use the information received to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible.

This opportunity is suitable for businesses specializing in the repair or modification of industrial motors, particularly alternating-current motors. Firms with expertise in National Stock Number (NSN) 6105-01-436-5751 are especially relevant.
