DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE NAVY.NAVSUP.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT.NAVSUP WSS MECHANICSBURG.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT MECH · Response deadline: Thu, 12 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support office in Mechanicsburg is soliciting for a parts kit for ball valve repair and modification. This falls under metal valve manufacturing work (NAICS 332919), specifically supporting the maintenance of ball valves used in naval systems. Ball valves control fluid flow in piping systems and are critical components across shipboard and shore-based naval infrastructure.
Ball valve repair kits typically include seals, seats, stems, bearings, and other components needed to restore or modify valve function without complete replacement. Given NAVSUP WSS's role as the Navy's primary inventory control point for weapons systems support, this requirement likely supports sustainment of existing naval platforms rather than new construction.

Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open with no set-aside restrictions, meaning any responsible business—small or large—may compete. However, NAICS 332919 carries a small business size standard of 1,000 employees, so small businesses remain eligible for any small business credit on this procurement.
To qualify, offerors should have:
- Manufacturing or kitting capability for precision metal valve components
- Experience with government contracting and defense logistics systems, particularly NAVSUP or Defense Logistics Agency requirements
- Appropriate quality certifications (likely ISO 9001 or AS9100 depending on end-use)
- Ability to meet any Mil-Spec or MIL-STD requirements for naval applications; see the solicitation for applicable specifications
How to put together a competitive bid
Technical compliance first. NAVSUP WSS procurements typically hinge on exact specification match. Obtain the full solicitation to identify the specific ball valve models, applicable military specifications, and interchangeability requirements. Request drawings or technical data packages if not automatically provided.
Pricing strategy. With no set-aside, expect competition from established defense contractors. Research historical pricing for similar valve repair kits through FPDS or SAM.gov contract data. Consider whether your firm qualifies for small business price evaluation adjustments on other solicitations—even here, lean pricing matters against larger competitors.
Past performance documentation. Prepare summaries of comparable valve or maritime component deliveries, especially to Navy or DLA customers. Highlight on-time delivery rates and any sole-source or emergency fulfillment experience.
Supply chain readiness. Mechanical components increasingly face material lead time challenges. Demonstrate stock or secured supply for specialty alloys, seals, or coatings specified.
Regulatory compliance. Verify current registration in SAM.gov, active CAGE code, and any required DFARS or NIST cybersecurity posture applicable to your offer.
