61--CONTROL,GENERATOR, 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, 21 Oct 2026
What the government is buying
This solicitation covers repair and modification services for generator control equipment used by the Navy. Based on the Federal Supply Classification code 6110 ("Generators and Generator Sets, Electrical"), NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Philadelphia is seeking to restore or upgrade existing electrical generator control systems rather than procure new units. This type of work typically involves troubleshooting, component replacement, calibration, firmware updates, and potentially engineering changes to extend service life or improve reliability of shipboard or shore-based power generation equipment.
Generator controls in naval applications manage voltage regulation, frequency stability, load sharing, and protective relaying functions. Repair and modification contracts in this space often require adherence to military specifications, detailed technical manuals, and quality standards appropriate for critical mission systems.

Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no small business set-aside, meaning any responsible contractor—large or small—may submit an offer. However, the NAICS code 335312 points to motor and generator manufacturing, so firms with capabilities in electrical equipment repair, generator controls, or power system remanufacturing should evaluate whether they meet the technical qualifications.
Small businesses should note that while this contract is not set aside, they may still compete if they possess the required technical expertise, tooling, and quality certifications. Past performance in military repair work or similar electrical control system overhaul would strengthen a proposal. Contractors should verify their SAM.gov registration is active and that they have any needed security clearances or facility clearances if the work involves sensitive technical data.
How to put together a competitive bid
Technical capability documentation: Emphasize experience with MIL-SPEC electrical repairs, solder/rework certifications (IPC-A-610, IPC-J-STD-001), and generator control platforms. Detail your test equipment inventory—load banks, power analyzers, programmable sources—and environmental stress screening capabilities.
Repair versus replacement strategy: Government repair solicitations favor proposals that clearly distinguish repairable deficiencies from economically unrepairable conditions. Present your diagnostic methodology, planned testing protocols, and criteria for recommending component replacement versus unit replacement.
Quality and traceability: NAVSUP WSS requires rigorous configuration management. Describe your calibration recall system, material traceability procedures, and counterfeit parts avoidance programs (AS5553 or equivalent). If you hold ISO 9001 or AS9100 certification, highlight this.
Pricing structure: Repair contracts typically benefit from detailed labor categories (technician, engineer, QA inspector) with loaded rates, plus material handling percentages and estimated material costs. Consider whether to propose firm-fixed-price per item, time-and-materials, or a hybrid approach—see the solicitation for permitted contract types.
Past performance: Include relevant Navy, Coast Guard, or commercial marine generator repair contracts. Quantify outcomes such as mean-time-between-failure improvements or cost avoidance achieved through repair versus new procurement.
Next steps
Download and review the complete solicitation package on SAM.gov using solicitation number N0038326QHA67. Pay close attention to technical requirements, delivery schedules, inspection criteria, and the precise scope of repair versus modification work authorized. Note that responses are due October 21, 2026 at 4:30 PM Eastern Time—late submissions will not be considered. Given the specialized nature of generator control repair, contacting the contracting officer early with clarifying questions is advisable, particularly regarding technical data access, original equipment manufacturer relationships, and any field service requirements.
