How to bid on Receiver-transmitter and Other Replacement Parts for the DEPT of the Navy

What the Navy is buying and why it matters

The Department of the Navy is seeking a contractor to perform repair, overhaul, upgrade, testing, and inspection services for pump units and associated replacement parts. The goal is to return these items to a ready-for-issue condition.

This opportunity is significant for vendors who can provide a complete solution, including facilities, labor, materials, replacement parts, tooling, and test equipment. The Navy is not expected to provide government-furnished equipment, making this a comprehensive requirement for the contractor.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

This Request for Proposal (RFP) was published on July 22, 2026. The deadline for submissions is August 06, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. All proposals must be received by this time.

After the deadline, the Navy will evaluate the submitted proposals. The contract includes a 12-month warranty requirement, a 365-day induction window for assets after the contract award, and requires the contractor to propose a repair turnaround time and monthly throughput.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is well-suited for technology firms and specialized repair and maintenance contractors with expertise in overhauling and testing complex mechanical or electronic pump units and related components. Firms must have their own facilities, labor, materials, replacement parts, tooling, and test equipment.

Experience with Department of Defense contracts and understanding of specific military standards, such as the prohibition of MIL-W-81381 wire and compliance with IPC/EIAJ-STD-001C, will be beneficial.

Tips for a competitive response

Clearly define your proposed Repair Turnaround Time (RTAT) and monthly throughput constraint for each National Stock Number (NSN). These are critical elements the Navy will evaluate.

Emphasize your firm's capability to provide all necessary resources, including facilities, labor, materials, tooling, and test equipment, as government-furnished equipment is not expected. Detail your quality control processes and how you will meet the 12-month warranty requirement.

Pay close attention to specific technical requirements, such as the prohibition of MIL-W-81381 wire and the use of SAE-AS22759 series wire, as well as compliance with IPC/EIAJ-STD-001C if MIL-STD-454 is referenced. Ensure your proposal addresses all aspects of the Statement of Work.
