What the government is buying
The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support Philadelphia is soliciting for repair or modification services for reciprocating pumps. The classification code 4320 corresponds to Measuring and Dispensing Pumps in the federal supply classification system, which includes various pump types used in fluid transfer applications. Reciprocating pumps are positive-displacement pumps that use a back-and-forth motion to move fluid, commonly found in high-pressure applications such as fuel systems, hydraulic systems, and water jetting equipment in naval vessels and shore facilities.
The Defense Logistics Agency and Navy maintain extensive inventories of pumps across ship classes and aircraft platforms, requiring depot-level repair and overhaul to extend service life. This type of contract typically involves component inspection, refurbishment, replacement of worn parts (seals, valves, plungers, cylinders), testing to original specifications, and certification for return to service. See the solicitation for the specific pump models, quantities, and technical requirements.

Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open with no set-aside designation, meaning all responsible sources may submit bids. However, given the NAICS code 333914 and the military nature of the work, bidders should evaluate whether they possess:
- Relevant manufacturing or repair capabilities for reciprocating pumps
- Experience with military specifications (MIL-SPEC) and defense logistics processes
- Ability to meet any quality certifications (such as ISO 9001 or AS9100) that may be required
- Security clearances or facility clearances if handling technical data or visiting Navy sites
Small businesses are encouraged to compete. See the solicitation for any applicable size standard based on employee count or revenue, and for any subcontracting plan requirements if multiple offerors are anticipated.
How to put together a competitive bid
Understand the technical scope. Reciprocating pump repair for DoD requires precision. Review the solicitation for specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs), engineering drawings, and performance specifications. If technical data packages are provided, verify your ability to interpret military drawings and source obscure components.
Demonstrate past performance. NAVSUP evaluates reliability and on-time delivery heavily. Document similar repair contracts, especially with DoD or maritime customers. Include corrective action processes and throughput capacity.
Price strategically. For repair/modification work, labor rates, material escalation clauses, and learning curves matter. Understand whether pricing is per-item, time-and-materials, or cost-plus. Obtain quotes from specialty suppliers early, as lead times for pump components can be lengthy.
Comply with DFARS and NAVSUP clauses. Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement provisions apply. Pay attention to packaging and marking requirements (MIL-STD-2073), warranty terms, and shipping instructions to Navy distribution depots.
Prepare your SAM registration and representations. Ensure your SAM.gov entity registration is active and complete. Verify your NAICS code 333914 is listed and your small business status is current if claiming size advantage.
