66--CONTROL-DISPLAY UNI, 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: Thu, 19 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy, specifically NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (WSS) in Philadelphia, is soliciting offers for repair and modification work on a "Control-Display Uni" — a control-display unit, which is a type of avionics or weapons system interface equipment. This falls under electronic equipment maintenance and refurbishment rather than new production.
Under NAICS 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), this contract involves sustainment of military electronics. NAVSUP WSS Philadelphia serves as a primary inventory control point for naval aviation and maritime weapons systems, so this likely supports operational readiness of aircraft or shipboard systems.
No set-aside program is designated for this solicitation, meaning it is open to all responsible offerors regardless of size status. See the solicitation for specific technical requirements, quantities, and the exact systems supported.

Who can bid
This procurement is open to all qualified businesses — there is no small business set-aside, no HUBZone preference, no SDVOSB or WOSB restriction. Large and small businesses may compete.
To bid, your firm must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) with active registration through the contract performance period. Given the NAICS 334511 and military nature of this work, you will likely need:
- Security clearance capabilities: NAVSUP WSS Philadelphia handles weapons system support; facility clearances or personnel clearances may be required. See the solicitation for specific classification levels.
- Quality certifications: AS9100 (aerospace quality management) or ISO 9001 are commonly expected for avionics repair work. Military repair stations often require certifications under 14 CFR Part 145 or equivalent Navy-approved processes.
- Past performance: Prior Department of Defense or Navy contracts for similar repair/modification work strengthen competitiveness. NAVSUP WSS typically evaluates demonstrated experience with the specific equipment or comparable military electronics.
Small businesses should assess whether they can meet any manufacturer-original equipment manufacturer (OEM) requirements or technical data package access limitations that may favor established defense contractors.
How to put together a competitive bid
For repair and modification contracts on military electronics, focus your proposal on these elements:
Technical approach: Detail your repair methodology — depot-level diagnostics, component-level repair vs. module replacement, testing protocols, and how you handle obsolete parts. NAVSUP WSS prioritizes turnaround time and reliability; explain your process flow and quality gates.
Pricing structure: Repair contracts often use various contract vehicles — firm-fixed-price per unit, time-and-materials, or indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity arrangements. Without set-aside status, expect intense price competition. Analyze whether to propose labor rates, material markups, or not-to-exceed ceilings. See the solicitation for the specific contract type and pricing instructions.
Supply chain and obsolescence management: Control-display units for military platforms often face diminishing manufacturing sources. Address how you source hard-to-find components, whether through approved alternate sources, reverse engineering, or engineering redesign.
Security and data handling: Describe your facility's Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling, Foreign Military Sales restrictions if applicable, and ITAR compliance procedures.
Past performance documentation: Provide relevant contract completion references with contact information, specifically for equipment repair or modification contracts with DoD or other federal agencies.
