How to bid on Transformer, 150KVA, Repair/Modification for the DEPT of the Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy's NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Mechanicsburg is seeking repair services for two 150KVA transformers, part number CM23011-80. These transformers are critical components within sub-engineering systems.
The Navy currently intends to award this as a sole-source contract to Custom Magnetics of California Inc., the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), as they are the only known source for these repairs. However, if your small business can provide these repair services, the agency will consider your capability statement.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Request for Information (RFI) published on July 17, 2026. The approximate issue date for the formal Solicitation/RFP is July 31, 2026, with an approximate response/closing date of August 31, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. The anticipated award date is September 15, 2026.
If you believe your firm can meet this requirement, you must submit a capability statement within 15 days of the notice publication. While the government intends to negotiate with only one source, all proposals received within 45 days after the publication date will be considered to determine if a competitive procurement is possible.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is best suited for businesses with expertise in the repair and modification of 150KVA transformers, specifically those with the capability to service part number CM23011-80. The relevant NAICS code is 334416 (Semiconductor and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) and the PSC is 5950 (Coils and Transformers).
The government does not own the data or rights to the data needed to purchase this part from additional sources, and there are no drawings or data available. If you are not an approved manufacturer for this material, you would need to submit a Source Approval Request (SAR), but this procurement will not be delayed for SAR approval.

No telephone requests will be honored, and no hard copies will be mailed out. Electronic procedures will be used for the solicitation, which will be posted to NECO.
Practical tips for a competitive response
When preparing your capability statement, clearly demonstrate your firm's experience and technical ability to repair 150KVA transformers, specifically the CM23011-80 model. Provide concrete examples of similar projects you have successfully completed.
Even though this is an RFI and the agency intends to sole-source, a strong capability statement can influence their decision to consider other sources. Highlight any unique qualifications, certifications, or specialized equipment your company possesses that are relevant to transformer repair. Ensure your submission addresses the specific requirements and challenges mentioned in the notice, such as the lack of available drawings or data.
