48--ACTUATOR,HYDRAULIC-- AND SIMILAR REPLACEMENT PARTS
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE NAVY.NAVSUP.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT.NAVSUP WSS MECHANICSBURG.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT MECH · Response deadline: Thu, 19 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The U.S. Navy is soliciting offers for hydraulic actuators and similar replacement parts. These components are essential for controlling mechanical systems in naval equipment—converting hydraulic fluid pressure into mechanical force to move or position machinery. Parts in this category typically serve maintenance and repair needs for existing weapon systems and platforms rather than new construction.
Given the classification code 4810 (Valves, Nonpowered) and the NAICS code 332919 (Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing), this acquisition likely covers a range of fluid power components. These may include control valves, directional valves, pressure regulators, and related hardware that integrate with hydraulic actuator systems. Such parts are critical to keeping naval vessels and aircraft operational.
Because this notice does not specify quantities, part numbers, or delivery schedules in the available metadata, see the solicitation for the complete list of required items, estimated quantities, and any technical specifications.

Who can bid
This solicitation is open to all responsible sources—there is no small-business or socio-economic set-aside attached. Large businesses, small businesses of all types, and nontraditional defense contractors may all submit offers.
That said, manufacturers registered under NAICS 332919 should carefully evaluate whether they can meet any required quality standards. Naval aviation and shipboard applications frequently demand compliance with specialized military specifications (MIL-SPEC), source control drawings, or traceability requirements for material origins. Firms with existing Department of Defense supplier experience, particularly those holding relevant quality certifications such as AS9100 or ISO 9001 with defense supplements, will have an advantage.
Small businesses should also consider whether their size status qualifies them for subcontracting opportunities if direct bidding proves impractical. Even in full-and-open competitions, prime contractors often seek qualified small-business suppliers to meet their own subcontracting plan obligations.
How to put together a competitive bid
First, obtain the complete technical package through SAM.gov. NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support acquisitions for repair parts typically include detailed drawings, qualified products lists, or performance specifications that bidders must meet exactly. Deviations generally require advance approval.
Review your manufacturing and testing capabilities against any material specifications—naval hydraulic components often require corrosion-resistant alloys, specific surface treatments, or pressure ratings suited to marine environments. Factor in any required first article testing or source inspection by government quality representatives, which NAVSUP frequently mandates for critical safety items.
For pricing, examine whether the solicitation contemplates a single-award fixed-price contract, a blanket purchase agreement, or an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity vehicle. NAVSUP WSS often uses multi-year contracts for high-demand repair parts; your pricing strategy should account for potential economic price adjustment clauses and minimum order guarantees.
Given that this is unrestricted competition, emphasize your past performance on similar defense contracts, your production capacity, and your ability to meet required delivery timelines. If you have experience with the Defense Logistics Agency's supply chain or hold an existing Navy contract for related items, highlight this directly in your proposal.
