29--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: Wed, 28 Oct 2026
What the government is buying
The Navy is seeking to acquire an electromechanical actuator, identified in federal supply classification as ACTUATOR, ELECTROMEC, for repair or modification work. Actuators of this type convert electrical energy into mechanical motion and are commonly used in aircraft, naval vessels, and weapons systems to control surfaces, valves, landing gear, or other moving components. The "repair/modification" language suggests this is not a new-production requirement but rather sustainment work on existing equipment—overhauling, reconditioning, or upgrading actuators already in the Navy's inventory.
This requirement falls under NAICS 336310: Motor Vehicle Gasoline Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing. While this NAICS code's title emphasizes automotive engines, it also covers a broader range of engine components and related parts manufacturing, including some aerospace and defense applications. For small-business qualification purposes, the Small Business Administration's size standard for this NAICS is 1,000 employees.
NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS), headquartered in Philadelphia, is the contracting activity. NAVSUP WSS serves as the Navy's primary weapons systems support manager, handling spare parts and logistics for aviation, maritime, and weapons systems.

Who can bid
This solicitation is open to all responsible offerors—there is no small-business set-aside, so large businesses may compete directly alongside small businesses. Small businesses that qualify under NAICS 336310 (1,000-employee threshold) can still bid and should consider whether they can compete on price, technical capability, or past performance against larger firms.
To be eligible, a vendor must:
- Be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with active registration through contract award
- Have an adequate facility clearance or ability to obtain one if the actuator is for a weapons system requiring security access
- Demonstrate relevant past performance in electromechanical actuator repair, overhaul, or modification, preferably for defense applications
Vendors should verify their SAM registration is current and that their NAICS 336310 representation is accurate in their SAM profile.
How to put together a competitive bid
For repair and modification work on military electromechanical components, evaluators typically weighing technical approach, past performance, and price. Given the full-and-open competition, cost realism will be critical.
Technical volume: Detail your repair methodology, testing protocols, and quality assurance procedures. Navy actuators must meet strict military specifications—describe your capability to comply with applicable MIL-STD or NAVAIR requirements. Include your engineering change proposal process if modifications are anticipated.
Past performance: Cite directly comparable work on military or aerospace electromechanical systems. Government source selection teams value recent, relevant contracts for similar actuator types. Include contract numbers, dollar values, and customer contact information.
Pricing: Structure your proposal to show clear traceability between labor categories, material costs, and the specific repair/modification tasks. Given the short turnaround (five days between posting and deadline), see the solicitation for required pricing format and any Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE) or technical data provisions.
Compliance: Address any DFARS clauses, NAVSUP WSS-specific requirements, and packaging/shipping instructions for military supply chains.
