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, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Philadelphia, is soliciting for control-display units under Federal Supply Classification 6610. The work involves repair and/or modification of these units rather than procurement of new equipment. Control-display units are integrated electronic systems that combine operator input controls with visual output displays, commonly used in aircraft, shipboard, and ground-based weapon systems for mission-critical operations.

NAICS 334511 corresponds to Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. This industry classification covers establishments that manufacture instruments and systems for military and civilian navigation, guidance, and detection applications. The classification code 6610 (Scales and Balances) appears as the FSC in the title, though the solicitation specifically references control-display units—the FSC may reflect a broader categorization or cross-reference in the procurement system.

Key facts

Who can bid

This is an unrestricted solicitation with no set-aside, meaning businesses of any size may compete. The absence of a set-aside designation indicates full and open competition under standard federal procurement rules.

Small businesses considering this opportunity should note:

• No size standard advantage: Because there is no small business set-aside, large businesses can and likely will compete
• NAICS 334511 size threshold: Typically 1,250 employees for standard small business status; see the SBA's current size standards table to confirm
• Potential past performance requirements: Defense repair contracts often require demonstrated capability with military specifications, quality systems, and security clearances
• Eligibility for subcontracting: Small businesses may pursue subcontractor roles if prime positions prove difficult to secure
