What the government is buying
The Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support is seeking to procure an armature for a generator. This appears to be a component-level acquisition for military equipment sustainment. NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support typically manages spare parts and repair components for naval weapon systems and platforms, supplying fleet maintenance needs.
Generator armatures are rotating electromagnetic components central to electrical power generation systems. In naval applications, these parts support shipboard power plants and auxiliary systems. Purchases through NAVSUP WSS often relate to maintaining existing equipment rather than new construction, reflecting the Navy's emphasis on lifecycle support for deployed systems.

| Notice type | Solicitation |
| Solicitation number | N0010426QUC47 |
| NAICS | 335312 |
| Set-aside | None (unrestricted competition) |
| Response deadline | October 23, 2026 at 4:30 PM ET |
| Place of performance | Not specified in notice; see the solicitation |
The NAICS code 335312 designates "Motor and Generator Manufacturing," covering establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing electric motors, generators, and generator sets. This classification indicates the procurement relates to electrical rotating equipment manufacturing rather than simple distribution or maintenance services.
Who can bid
This solicitation is unrestricted—no small business set-aside applies. Large businesses, small businesses of any size, and other eligible entities may all submit offers. That said, small manufacturers in the motor/generator space may still find viable competition paths.
Given the NAICS code and military end-use, bidders should expect defense-unique requirements potentially including:
- Military specifications (MIL-SPEC) compliance
- Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses
- Traceability and material certification documentation
- Potential Export Control/ITAR restrictions given the military application
Bidders unfamiliar with defense contracting should verify their SAM.gov registration is active and that they hold any required Cage Code. Experience with Navy supply systems or prior NAVSUP WSS contracts would offer advantage but is not a stated prerequisite.
How to put together a competitive bid
For unrestricted component solicitations like this, pricing discipline and technical responsiveness matter intensely.
Technical compliance: Obtain and review the full specification for the armature. NAVSUP typically provides detailed drawings, performance parameters, and qualification requirements. Deviations from specification generally require formal requests; assume none are permitted without explicit written approval.
Cost/pricing structure: Given the manufactured nature of this item (NAICS 335312), the government likely expects detailed cost breakdowns. Prepare to submit:
- Material costs with supporting vendor quotes
- Labor hours and rates by skill category
- Burden/overhead substantiation
- Profit/fee justification
- Any tooling or non-recurring engineering if applicable
Quality systems: Defense generator components typically require quality certifications. Verify whether ISO 9001, AS9100, or Navy-specific quality plans are mandated. First-article inspection or source inspection at your facility may be required.
Past performance: Document relevant manufacturing experience, particularly for naval or similarly demanding applications. Even without explicit past performance requirements, evaluators will likely consider it.
Lead time and delivery: NAVSUP WSS emphasizes weapon system readiness. Realistic, demonstrable delivery schedules may outperform optimistic but undeliverable promises.
