How to bid on Processor Radar Repair/Modification for the DEPT of the Navy

What the Navy is buying and why it matters

The Department of the Navy needs 73 units of a specific radar processor (NSN 7R-5841-016647179-EX) for repair or modification. This is a Request for Information (RFI), meaning the government is gathering details from potential vendors, not yet asking for bids. However, responding to an RFI can help shape future solicitations and position your business for upcoming opportunities.

The government is not currently planning to acquire these as commercial items. If your firm can supply this requirement as a commercial item, you should indicate this to the contracting officer within 15 days of the notice.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

This RFI was published on July 15, 2026. The deadline for responses is August 31, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. All submissions must be received by this time. Since this is an RFI, there is no award at this stage; the government will use the information gathered to inform future procurement decisions.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for technology firms specializing in radar systems, electronics repair, or modification services, particularly those with experience in military specifications and standards. Businesses capable of handling the repair or modification of complex radar processors, especially those familiar with Department of Defense technical data packages, will find this relevant. The government will only make an award if the offeror, product, or service meets qualification requirements at the time of award.

Practical tips for preparing your response

Carefully review all technical documents available through ASSIST-Online to fully understand the specifications for the radar processor. Ensure your firm can meet the qualification requirements, as an award will only be made if these are satisfied. If you believe you can provide this as a commercial item, clearly state your interest and capability to the contracting officer within the specified 15-day timeframe.

Even though this is an RFI, provide as much detail as possible about your firm's capabilities, relevant experience, and any unique solutions you can offer. This helps the agency understand the market and can influence how a future solicitation is structured. Clearly articulate your ability to meet the quantity of 73 units and the delivery terms (FOB Origin).
