How to bid on N0038326PR0R766 FMS Repair for DEPT of Defense
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of Defense, specifically NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Philadelphia, is seeking a contractor to repair two government-owned dual-control valves. These valves are used on E-2C aircraft for the country of Egypt. This is an opportunity for specialized repair firms to work on critical aircraft components for the Navy's foreign military sales program.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This solicitation was published on August 14, 2026. The deadline for proposals is September 14, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET. While the government intends to solicit only one source, other responsible sources may submit capability information or proposals within 5 days after the publication date. Proposals received after this initial 5-day window, but before the September 14 deadline, will be considered, but source approval is required and will not delay award.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is best suited for firms with specialized expertise in repairing aircraft components, particularly dual-control valves for E-2C aircraft. The government has stated it does not possess the necessary repair data, making this a highly specialized requirement. Firms that are already an approved source for such repairs, or those capable of quickly obtaining source approval, are ideal candidates. The relevant category is equipment repair, specifically for military aircraft parts.
How to respond
To access the solicitation, click “View original source” on the portal. If you land on the portal’s homepage, click the link again to go directly to the bid. You may need a free account to view documents, though this is not always required. If you are not an approved source, you must submit a Source Approval Request package along with your proposal. Information for this process is detailed in the NAVSUP-WSS Source Approval Information Brochure for Repair.
Practical tips for a competitive response
Given the specialized nature and the government's intent to use a single source, your response must clearly demonstrate your unique capabilities and why you are a responsible alternative. Focus on your experience with similar aircraft components, your technical expertise, and any proprietary data or processes you possess that enable these specific repairs. If you are not an approved source, prioritize submitting a complete and compelling Source Approval Request package immediately. Ensure all required labor, material, and facility details are thoroughly documented to restore the government-owned articles to operational condition.
