How to bid on the Electronic Sequencer Test Set for the Department of the Navy
What the Navy plans to buy
The Department of the Navy plans to procure one Electronic Sequencer Test Set for its VFC-204 standup effort in New Orleans. The equipment is intended to reduce false removal errors in NACES ejection sequencers and address testing needs involving the TTU-515/E and fast sequencer.
The Navy intends to negotiate with Teledyne Risi on a sole-source basis, saying the company is the original equipment manufacturer and has the knowledge, technical experience, and production-level data needed. This is an RFI notice, not a request for competitive proposals, but the Navy will consider responses from interested businesses.
Deadline and what happens next
The notice was published October 8, 2026. Responses are due by October 30, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET, within 15 days after publication.
The Navy says it will consider timely responses, but it may still decide not to open the requirement to competition. The notice does not bind the government to solicit or award a contract.
Who this opportunity may suit
This notice is most relevant to firms that can supply or produce electronic test equipment for measuring and testing electrical and electronic properties. The listed category is PSC 6625, Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments, and the NAICS code is 334515, Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals.
The listed NAICS size standard is 750. Because the Navy states that it plans a sole-source award to the equipment’s OEM, a business considering a response should be prepared to explain its relevant capabilities and why it could meet the requirement.
