48--VALVE,SOLENOID, 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: Mon, 16 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy is soliciting offers for repair and/or modification services related to solenoid valves. Solenoid valves are electromechanically operated valves controlled by an electric current through a solenoid coil. In defense applications, these components commonly appear in fluid power systems, fuel systems, hydraulic systems, and various shipboard or aircraft machinery controls. The work involves repairing or modifying existing valve units rather than manufacturing new items from scratch.
This requirement falls under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 4810, which covers valves powered by the action of a solenoid. NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Philadelphia, the contracting office, manages procurement for naval aviation and maritime systems, suggesting these valves likely support weapon systems, ship propulsion, or aircraft subsystems.

The NAICS code 332919 encompasses establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing metal valves, pipe fittings, and related components, including repair services associated with this product category. The absence of a set-aside designation means this opportunity is open to all responsible sources regardless of small-business status.
Who can bid
Any responsible business—large or small—may submit an offer on this unrestricted solicitation. The government will evaluate all offers without preference for small business participation.
Firms with capabilities in precision valve repair, solenoid rebuild or refurbishment, and modification of military-specification components should consider this opportunity. Relevant experience includes:
- Overhaul and repair of hydraulic, pneumatic, or fuel system valves
- Electromechanical component troubleshooting and restoration
- Modification engineering to extend component service life or adapt to new applications
- Familiarity with military specifications (MIL-SPEC) for valves and fluid power equipment
How to put together a competitive bid
Valve repair and modification solicitations typically emphasize technical capability, quality systems, and demonstrated operational performance. To compete effectively:
Demonstrate technical competence. Describe your facility's capabilities for disassembly, inspection, testing, and reassembly of solenoid valves. Include any specialized equipment for coil winding, seal replacement, stem refinishing, or calibration.
Address military specifications. NAVSUP WSS contracts typically reference specific technical orders, drawings, or MIL-STD requirements. Identify which specifications apply and explain your compliance approach.
Present quality credentials. Highlight ISO 9001 registration, AS9100 aerospace certification, or Navy approval under the Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) or Qualified Suppliers List (QSL) programs if applicable.
Detail modification expertise. Since this solicitation explicitly invites modification work, describe past engineering changes you've implemented—such as material upgrades, design improvements for reliability, or adaptations for alternate applications.
Provide past performance. Cite comparable contracts with NAVSUP, other DOD components, or commercial aerospace/marine customers. Include contract values, periods of performance, and customer contact information.
Review delivery and packaging requirements. Defense supply chains impose specific preservation, packaging, and marking standards. Confirm you can meet these or describe any needed exceptions.
