How to bid on Operations and Maintenance of Frequency Converters for the Egyptian Navy

What the agency is buying

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Middle East District needs a contractor to provide maintenance and support services for frequency converters and other electrical systems used by the Egyptian Navy. This is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, meaning the agency will place orders for specific tasks as needed over the contract period.

This is a single-award contract with a total capacity of $25 million. The contract will have a five-year ordering period, with a possible six-month extension. This opportunity is significant for U.S. firms specializing in electrical system maintenance, particularly those with experience in foreign military support.

Key dates and deadlines

The solicitation was published on August 07, 2026. All proposals must be submitted by August 19, 2026, at 10:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Proposals submitted after this deadline will not be evaluated. The deadline was extended by Amendment 0001.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is specifically for U.S. firms. Due to the use of Foreign Military Financing (FMF) funds, offers from non-U.S. firms will not be considered. The ideal contractor will have expertise in the maintenance and support of frequency converters and other electrical systems. Firms with experience in equipment maintenance and support services, especially in an international context, would be well-suited.

Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Solicitation Module.

Tips for a competitive response

Given this is an IDIQ contract, clearly demonstrate your firm's capacity to handle recurring and corrective maintenance tasks over a five-year period. Highlight any relevant past performance with similar electrical systems or in supporting military operations. Ensure your proposal directly addresses all requirements outlined in the solicitation.

Pay close attention to the electronic submission process through PIEE. Start the submission process early to avoid any last-minute technical issues. Double-check that all required documents are attached and correctly formatted before the August 19, 2026, 10:00 AM EDT deadline. Since the government is reviewing bidder inquiries, be prepared for potential further amendments that might provide additional information or clarifications.
