DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE NAVY.NAVSUP.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT.NAVSUP WSS PHILADELPHIA.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT · Response deadline: Mon, 16 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Navy is soliciting for the repair and modification of BOTTLE MONEX FI equipment. This falls under NRP (Not Reparable This Point/Not Ready for Production) procurement, indicating the government needs contractor support to restore or alter existing equipment rather than procure new items. The MONEX designation typically relates to monel alloy—nickel-copper based materials known for corrosion resistance, often used in marine environments.
NAICS 336413 covers "Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing," though in this context the work involves repair/modification rather than new production. This classification includes specialized aircraft and aerospace support equipment that the Navy maintains through its weapon systems support infrastructure.

Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no set-aside restriction. Any responsible offeror—large or small business—may submit a bid. Small businesses without specific socio-economic certifications can compete, though no preference applies.
Given the NAICS 336413 with standard $2,000 size standard, manufacturers and repair facilities serving aerospace/defense markets should evaluate fit. Experience with monel alloy fabrication or Navy aviation ground support equipment would be relevant. Contractors must be registered in SAM.gov and hold any required security clearances; see the solicitation for facility and personnel requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
For NRP repair/modification work, emphasize your technical approach to: inspection and assessment of incoming equipment, dimensional restoration procedures, corrosion treatment specific to monel substrates, quality documentation to military specifications, and turnaround time commitments.
Pricing should address: labor rates by skill category, material markups, overhead for specialized welding/fixturing, and any subcontracted processes like non-destructive testing. Navy repair contracts often use cost analysis—justify all basis-of-estimate details.
Review the solicitation for: exact quantities or estimated annual usage, delivery schedule, packaging and preservation requirements, and inspection acceptance criteria at the government source. Since this is unrestricted, large businesses may bid aggressively; small businesses should highlight responsiveness, past NAVSUP performance, and any sole-source repair capabilities.
