What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy is seeking a contractor to repair SENSOR, OPAQUE PARTI units. This will be a firm-fixed-price contract. The work involves inspection, repair, and acceptance of these units, with a one-year warranty required on the repaired items. This opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses.
Vendors should note the specific requirements for meeting listed cage and reference numbers, and the need to provide a firm-fixed-price quote after an initial teardown and evaluation phase. The requested repair turnaround time is 300 days.

This Request for Proposal (RFP) was published on September 11, 2026. All proposals must be submitted by the deadline of October 13, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. Proposals received after this time will likely not be considered.
