What the government is buying
The Navy is soliciting offers for an electro-mechanical actuator, a component used to convert electrical energy into mechanical motion. These devices are commonly found in weapons systems, aircraft control surfaces, shipboard equipment, and other defense platforms where precise mechanical movement is required.
NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (Mechanicsburg) manages this procurement. NAVSUP WSS is the Navy's primary inventory control point for aviation and maritime weapon systems material, supporting fleet readiness through spare parts and component supply.

Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open competition with no small business set-aside. Any responsible offeror—large or small business, including government contractors already in the defense industrial base—may submit a bid. Small businesses remain eligible to compete but will not receive preference.
The NAICS code 333612 covers mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing. Firms in this classification typically produce gears, gearboxes, couplings, drives, and related motion control components. If your firm operates under this NAICS or has manufactured actuators, servo mechanisms, or electromechanical motion systems, you may qualify.
How to put together a competitive bid
Technical compliance is paramount in Navy component procurements. NAVSUP WSS solicitations typically require strict adherence to military specifications (MIL-SPEC) or defense standard drawings. See the solicitation for the exact specifications, performance parameters, and testing requirements applicable to this actuator.
Focus your proposal on:
- Traceability and configuration management: Document how your manufacturing process maintains lot control, material certifications, and serial number tracking required for naval aviation or shipboard components
- Quality system credentials: Highlight existing ISO 9001, AS9100, or Navy/DCMA-approved quality systems; note any past QSL (Qualified Suppliers List) approvals for similar items
- Obsolescence and sustainment planning: NAVSUP WSS prioritizes long-term supportability for weapon systems—address your commitment to technical data packages, spare availability, and engineering support over the component lifecycle
- Past performance: Cite relevant defense contracts for actuators, servo valves, or electromechanical subsystems, especially under Navy or other DoD contracts
For small businesses competing against larger primes, emphasize responsiveness, dedicated program management, and willingness to accept smaller minimum order quantities if your capacity supports lean production.
Pricing strategy: Full and open competitions favor best-value or lowest-priced technically acceptable evaluations. See the solicitation for the specific evaluation criteria and whether price alone or price with technical factors governs award.
