How to bid on FMS Repair for the Dept of the Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy needs repair services for four specific circuit card assemblies, part number 131250-9B. These are identified by NSN: 7R 5998 013521317. The Navy has identified Rockwell Collins, Inc. as the only known source for these repairs because they are the original equipment manufacturer and the government does not possess the necessary data to allow other sources to perform the work.
This opportunity is initially a Request for Information (RFI), meaning the Navy is seeking to understand if other qualified vendors exist. While the Navy intends to proceed with a sole-source contract to Rockwell Collins, other firms can submit capability statements to demonstrate their ability to perform these repairs. This could potentially lead to future opportunities if the Navy identifies additional qualified sources.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Information was published on July 08, 2026. The deadline for submitting capability statements is August 07, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET. All submissions must be received by this date and time to be considered.
After the deadline, the government will review any submitted capability statements. While the Navy intends to negotiate with Rockwell Collins, information from other sources will be used to determine if a competitive procurement is possible in the future. This procurement is not a Total Small Business Set-Aside.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is primarily suited for firms with expertise in the repair of advanced technology components, specifically circuit card assemblies. The relevant NAICS code is 336413, which covers aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing, and the FSC is 5998, for electrical and electronic equipment components.
While Rockwell Collins is the identified sole source, any firm that believes it has the capability to repair part number 131250-9B should consider submitting a capability statement. This is especially true for firms that have experience with similar complex electronic repairs and can demonstrate their qualifications, even without the original design data.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
When preparing your capability statement, focus on clearly demonstrating your firm's ability to perform the required repairs for the specific circuit card assembly, part number 131250-9B. Highlight any relevant experience with similar components, specialized equipment, or certifications that are pertinent to complex electronic repairs.
Even though the Navy states it does not have the data, explain how your firm would approach the repair process without OEM data, if applicable, or if you have proprietary methods. Provide concrete examples of past performance on similar projects. Ensure your submission is concise, well-organized, and directly addresses the Navy's need for repair services for this specific part.
