16--ACTUATOR,ELECTROMEC, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF

DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE NAVY.NAVSUP.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT.NAVSUP WSS PHILADELPHIA.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT · Response deadline: Mon, 09 Nov 2026

What the government is buying

The Navy is soliciting bids for repair and modification services for electromechanical actuators. Electromechanical actuators are devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical motion, commonly used in weapon systems, aircraft control surfaces, shipboard equipment, and other defense applications to precisely position or move components. The "in repair/modification of" language in the title indicates this is a sustainment contract—maintaining, overhauling, or upgrading existing equipment rather than procuring new units. This type of depot-level repair work typically involves disassembly, inspection, testing, replacement of worn parts, reassembly, and return to service condition. See the solicitation for specific actuator models, quantities, and technical requirements.

Key facts

Who can bid

This solicitation is full and open competition with no set-aside, meaning businesses of any size may bid. Small businesses compete directly against large businesses. The NAICS code 336413 covers manufacturers of aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, including those with repair and overhaul capabilities. Your firm should have applicable experience with electromechanical systems, precision mechanical repair, and likely relevant quality certifications such as ISO 9001 or AS9100. Given NAVSUP WSS Philadelphia's role in managing wholesale logistics and repair programs for naval aviation and weapons systems, prior defense contracting experience and an active SAM.gov registration are essential. If you hold an DLA Distribution facility clearance or existing NAVSUP repair contract, note that in your past performance submission.

How to put together a competitive bid

For depot-level repair solicitations without a set-aside, emphasize proven technical capability and throughput capacity since large competitors may bid aggressively on unit pricing.

• Technical proposal: Detail your repair process flow, from receiving inspection through final acceptance testing. Include tooling, test benches, and environmental chambers specific to electromechanical actuator function testing. Reference similar DOD or FAA-certified repair work.
• Pricing: Structure your proposal to show labor rates by skill level, material markups, and any tooling amortization. Repair contracts often allow for economic price adjustment clauses or material cost contingencies—see the solicitation for authorized pricing mechanisms.
• Quality and traceability: NAVSUP WSS requires rigorous documentation. Specify your non-conforming material process, component traceability system, and data submission capabilities for the Navy's Item Unique Identification (IUID) or Automatic Identification Technology (AIT) requirements.
• Past performance: Cite contracts for electromechanical or electromechanical flight control actuator repair, even if for commercial aviation. Include Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) or customer CPARS ratings.
• Delivery and surge: Address your standard turnaround time and ability to accommodate fleet surges or emergency operational needs—NAVSUP WSS values logistics responsiveness highly.
