How to bid on Centrifugal Pump Repair/Modification for the DEPT of the Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy is looking for a contractor to inspect, repair, refurbish, and return a centrifugal pump. This is a firm-fixed-price contract. The Navy needs these pumps to be fully functional, and this opportunity is for businesses specializing in equipment repair.
The requested repair turnaround time is 724 days. This contract is important for vendors who can handle complex equipment repairs and meet specific turnaround requirements for government assets.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This solicitation was published on July 20, 2026. The deadline for proposals is August 10, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET. All proposals must be submitted by this time.
After the deadline, the Navy will evaluate the submitted proposals. Failure to meet the required repair turnaround time (RTAT) may result in price reductions, and the government reserves the right to pursue other remedies.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms with expertise in the repair and refurbishment of centrifugal pumps and similar equipment. Bidders must be able to provide a firm-fixed-price proposal that includes all costs associated with the repair, even for items that may be unwhole or missing parts.
A critical requirement for this solicitation is that offerors must possess a valid U.S. Confidential security clearance or higher. This is because the solicitation includes classified material that will only be released to appropriately cleared offerors. Firms without this clearance will not be able to access the full solicitation details or respond.

Practical tips for a competitive response
Carefully review all requirements, especially those related to the firm-fixed-price structure and the 724-day repair turnaround time. Clearly outline your proposed RTAT and any capacity constraints your firm may have. Be precise with your pricing, ensuring it covers all potential repair scenarios, including unwhole or damaged material.
Since a security clearance is mandatory, ensure your firm's clearance is current and at the Confidential level or higher before attempting to access the classified annex. Pay close attention to the instructions for electronic submission via email to avoid any submission issues. Detail your teardown and evaluation rates, and provide clear induction expiration dates in your proposal.
