How to bid on V22 SaFran BOA repair renewal for the Dept of Defense
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Department of Defense, specifically NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Philadelphia, is looking for a five-year Blanket Ordering Agreement (BOA) for the repair of eight specific V-22 aircraft parts. These parts include various actuators, a hydraulic motor, a control module, and a leading edge.
The Navy intends to negotiate with Safran Actuation Systems UK Limited as the original equipment manufacturer. This is because the government does not possess the necessary technical data to allow other companies to produce these repairs. If your company has the capability to repair these specific V-22 aircraft parts, this is an opportunity to be considered for future work, even if the initial intent is sole-source.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Information (RFI) was published on September 09, 2026. All capability statements, proposals, or quotations must be received by October 30, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. The government will consider all responses received within 15 days after the publication date.
Responses received after the deadline may not be considered. The government will use the information submitted to determine if there are other responsible sources capable of performing the required repairs. However, the government will not delay the procurement process to wait for new source approval.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is primarily suited for companies with existing capabilities and, ideally, prior approval to repair V-22 aircraft parts, specifically those listed in the solicitation. It is also for firms that can demonstrate they are a responsible source for these specific equipment repairs.
The NAICS code for this procurement is 336413, Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. The Federal Supply Class (FSC) is 1680. This procurement is not a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning businesses of all sizes can respond.

Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though the agency intends to negotiate with a sole source, a strong capability statement can still be valuable. Clearly articulate your firm's experience and expertise in repairing the specific V-22 aircraft parts mentioned. Provide concrete examples of similar work performed.
If you are not an approved source, you must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package along with your capability statement. Ensure your SAR package includes all the information detailed in the NAVSUP-WSS Source Approval Information Brochure. Be aware that the procurement will not be delayed for SAR approval, so timely and complete submission is crucial. Focus on demonstrating your technical competence and ability to meet the Navy's requirements without relying on government-provided data.
