What the government is buying
The Navy is soliciting bids for a disk assembly, fluid—a specialized mechanical component used in fluid systems, likely for shipboard or aviation applications given Navy's operational context. NAICS code 332919 classifies this as Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing, though the item description suggests precision-machined metal components rather than standard fittings. This type of work typically involves manufacturing to strict military specifications (MIL-SPEC) with requirements for material traceability, dimensional tolerances, and quality documentation.
The solicitation comes from NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (WSS) Mechanicsburg, the Navy's primary logistics support organization for weapons system spare parts and repair components. NAVSUP WSS manages the supply chain for critical naval equipment, meaning this disk assembly likely supports an existing weapons platform, propulsion system, or auxiliary machinery where component reliability is mission-critical.

Who can bid
Any responsible business may bid—this is a full and open competition with no set-aside restriction. Small businesses compete directly against large manufacturers.
Key eligibility considerations for this NAICS:
- Size standard: $1,500 million (1,500 employees) for NAICS 332919—most manufacturers qualify as small
- Capabilities needed: Precision machining, CNC manufacturing, or metal fabrication capability; experience with military/aerospace quality systems strongly preferred
- No verified SBA certification required (8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone) since no set-aside applies
Manufacturers with experience in defense/aerospace supply chains hold significant advantage. NAVSUP typically requires compliance with DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) provisions, including counterfeit parts prevention, source traceability, and often NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity for controlled unclassified information.
How to put together a competitive bid
First, obtain the full technical package through SAM.gov—the notice alone lacks drawings, specifications, and quantity requirements essential for pricing.
Technical capabilities to highlight:
- Past performance on similar precision-machined fluid power components (valves, seals, rotating assemblies)
- Quality certifications: ISO 9001, AS9100, or NADCAP accreditation
- Material and process control: Source traceability, test reports, heat treatment records
- Manufacturing capacity: Equipment list, inspection capabilities, lead time reliability
Pricing strategy considerations:
- NAVSUP WSS awards frequently emphasize lowest technically acceptable price for spare parts
- Evaluate whether this is a one-time buy or multi-year requirement (see the solicitation)
- Factor in government-furnished equipment ormaterial possibilities
- Consider small business pricing evaluation preference (10% on unrestricted solicitations) if you qualify
Compliance priorities:
- Review DFARS 252.211-7003 (Item Unique Identification) and marking requirements
- Confirm Source Inspection requirements—NAVSUP often mandates DCMA or Navy quality representatives witness tests
- Submit complete first article if required; incomplete technical proposals are common disqualifiers
Next steps
- Access the full solicitation immediately at SAM.gov using solicitation number N0010426QNE75
- Download all attachments: Technical drawings, specification sheets, packaging requirements, and delivery schedules
- Note the firm deadline: December 15, 2026, at 4:30 PM Eastern—late submissions are non-negotiable
- Submit questions early through the SAM.gov Q&A function if technical requirements are unclear; allow time for government response
The 48-day window from posting suggests moderate complexity—sufficient for established suppliers, potentially tight for new entrants requiring specialized tooling or material certification. see the solicitation
