DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE NAVY.NAVSUP.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT.NAVSUP WSS PHILADELPHIA.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT · Response deadline: Mon, 09 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Navy's NAVSUP Weapons Systems Support Philadelphia office is soliciting for repair and modification work on data display equipment, specifically items falling under Federal Supply Classification 6610 (Data Display Group). This type of work typically involves servicing, refurbishing, or upgrading electronic display systems used in military applications—such as cockpit instruments, command center monitors, shipboard displays, or other visualization equipment essential to naval operations.
NAICS 334511 refers to "Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing." While this manufacturing code covers production, it's commonly used in repair and overhaul solicitations because the underlying technical expertise—working with specialized avionics, radar displays, navigation systems, and similar mission-critical electronics—directly translates to maintenance and modification work. Contractors in this space generally need capabilities in electronic troubleshooting, component-level repair, firmware updates, and compliance with military specifications for ruggedized equipment.

- Security clearance capacity: Depending on the equipment's classification, facility or personnel clearances may be necessary.
- Past performance with defense contracts: Especially relevant for NAVSUP WSS, which manages sustainment for weapon systems where reliability is paramount.
How to put together a competitive bid
Given the repair/modification nature of this work and the full-and-open competitive environment:
Technical approach: Emphasize your diagnostic capabilities, repair methodologies, turnaround times, and quality control processes. For data display equipment, highlight experience with legacy system sustainment—a common NAVSUP priority as the Navy extends platform lifecycles.
Cost strategy: In open competition, price matters significantly. Develop realistic cost proposals based on actual material costs, labor rates for skilled technicians, and overhead. Consider whether to propose fixed-price (common for routine repairs) or cost-plus arrangements if scope uncertainty exists.
Proposal mechanics: NAVSUP WSS Philadelphia typically evaluates on technical merit, past performance, and price. Structure your response to directly address evaluation factors—see the solicitation for the specific weighting.
Small business considerations: Without a set-aside, consider subcontracting partnerships or teaming arrangements if you lack scale or specific capabilities. size standards for NAICS 334511—see the solicitation or SBA tables to confirm current thresholds.
