How to bid on Valve Assembly Repair/Modification for the DEPT of the Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy is seeking a contractor to repair, upgrade, test, and inspect specific valve assemblies. These units are identified by National Stock Number (NSN) 1660-016884617 and part number 1001442-2. The goal is to return these critical components to a ready-for-issue condition.
This contract is for an initial quantity of seven units, with the potential for up to 15 units over a two-year period. The initial induction period is 365 days, with a possible one-year extension. The contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary facilities, labor, materials, replacement parts, tooling, and testing equipment. This is a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in the repair and overhaul of complex mechanical or aerospace equipment.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Proposal (RFP) was published on July 20, 2026. The deadline for submitting your proposal is August 17, 2026, at 4:30 PM ET. All proposals must be submitted by this time.
After the deadline, the Navy will evaluate the submitted proposals. The government reserves the right to place an initial order for any number of units up to the specified maximum. The total contract value for threshold purposes will be calculated using the highest proposed unit price multiplied by the maximum number of units.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms with expertise in the repair, overhaul, and testing of complex valve assemblies or similar mechanical components, particularly those used in naval or aerospace applications. Vendors should have the capability to provide all necessary facilities, labor, materials, replacement parts, tooling, and testing equipment.
Experience with military specifications and quality requirements, such as those related to wiring (SAE-AS22759 series wire) and quality standards (IPC/EIAJ-STD-001C), will be beneficial. The solicitation specifies that the government will not provide equipment like fixtures, jigs, or special tooling, making this suitable for contractors with existing infrastructure or the ability to acquire it.

Tips for a competitive response
Carefully review the Statement of Work (SOW) to ensure your proposal addresses all requirements for repair, upgrade, testing, and inspection. Pay close attention to the definitions of "overhaul" and "repair" to align your proposed services with the Navy's expectations.
Clearly outline your capabilities regarding facilities, labor, materials, replacement parts, tooling, and testing equipment, as these are your responsibility. Provide separate pricing for the initial 365-day period and the potential second year if your pricing will change. Highlight your experience with relevant military standards and quality control processes, including the use of SAE-AS22759 series wire and compliance with IPC/EIAJ-STD-001C where applicable.
