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, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Philadelphia, is soliciting bids for repair and modification services related to data acquisition units. The federal supply classification code 6610 indicates this equipment falls under the "Data Acquisition Equipment" category, which typically encompasses devices and systems used to measure, record, and process physical or electrical phenomena—often in testing, monitoring, or diagnostic applications for military platforms and weapon systems. NAVSUP WSS Philadelphia serves as a key logistics hub supporting naval aviation and surface ship weapon systems, so this work likely supports sustainment of existing military equipment rather than new development. See the solicitation for specific technical requirements, quantities, and performance specifications.

Who can bid
This solicitation is open to all responsible sources—there is no small business set-aside, meaning large businesses, small businesses, and other eligible entities may compete. The NAICS code 334511 corresponds to "Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing," which carries a Small Business Administration size standard of 1,000 employees. Companies in this industry or with relevant capabilities in electronics repair, modification, and sustainment should evaluate whether they meet this size standard for other federal purposes, even though it does not restrict bidding here.
Prospective offerors should hold—or be able to obtain—any required security clearances, quality certifications (such as ISO 9001 or AS9100), and Navy-approved repair station credentials that may apply to military electronics work. Past performance supporting Department of Defense data acquisition or avionics systems may strengthen a proposal. See the solicitation for specific eligibility, registration, and responsibility requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
For unrestricted Navy electronics sustainment contracts, competitive bids typically distinguish themselves through:
Technical capability documentation. Detail your repair processes, testing protocols, and traceability procedures for modified data acquisition units. NAVSUP WSS emphasizes configuration management and adherence to military specifications—demonstrate how your quality system ensures compliance.
Past performance references. Include relevant contracts for similar repair/modification work, particularly for Navy, Air Force, or other DoD components. Quantify outcomes such as turnaround times, defect rates, and cost savings achieved.
Pricing strategy. Without set-aside preferences, price competition intensifies. Develop should-cost estimates based on actual material, labor, and overhead. Consider whether your pricing accommodates NAVSUP's potential volume variability or ordering through indefinite-delivery mechanisms.
Supply chain and obsolescence management. Data acquisition units often contain discontinued components. Proactively address how you source alternatives, engineer substitutes, or leverage DLA supply channels—this is frequently a discriminator in electronics sustainment evaluations.
Facility and security readiness. Confirm your facility can accommodate any required government-furnished equipment or classified material handling. See the solicitation for security, inspection, and delivery requirements.
