DEPT of DefenseCloses September 14, 2026

What the agency is buying and why it matters

The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking 13 transmission components for repair or modification. These components are identified by National Stock Number (NSN) 7R-3010-123915959-SX. The delivery terms are FOB origin, and the DoD will accept early or partial deliveries.

This is an opportunity for businesses that can provide specialized repair or modification services for these specific transmission components. While the government intends to negotiate with one source, they are open to considering other capable businesses.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

The solicitation was published on July 29, 2026. The deadline for submitting interest or capability information is September 14, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. Generally, responses are due within 45 days of the publication date. If an award is under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA), responses are due within 30 days.

Responses received by the deadline will be considered by the government. The information provided will help the government determine if a competitive procurement is warranted.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for businesses specializing in the repair or modification of mechanical transmission components, particularly those familiar with Department of Defense equipment and specifications. Firms with expertise in the specific NSN 7R-3010-123915959-SX are particularly well-suited.

This is an equipment-related requirement, so vendors in the manufacturing, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) sectors for defense or heavy machinery components would find this relevant.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response

Even though this is an intent to negotiate with one source, a strong capability statement can open doors. Clearly describe your experience with similar transmission components, your technical expertise, and your capacity to handle the quantity of 13 units. Highlight any relevant certifications or past performance with government contracts.

Pay close attention to the delivery terms (FOB origin) and confirm your ability to meet them. If you can accommodate early or incremental deliveries, mention this in your response. Ensure your submission is concise, professional, and directly addresses the requirements outlined in the notice.
