What the government is buying
The Navy is soliciting offers for a diesel engine governor. This falls under Federal Supply Classification 2910, which covers engine fuel system components, including governors, fuel pumps, carburetors, and related parts used to regulate engine speed and performance.
Diesel engine governors are critical control devices that maintain consistent engine speed under varying loads. In military applications, these components typically support shipboard propulsion systems, auxiliary power units, or generator sets. The work aligns with NAICS 336310, motor vehicle gasoline engine and engine parts manufacturing—a code that also covers diesel and other internal combustion engine components for non-automotive applications including marine and industrial uses.

Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no set-aside restriction, meaning any responsible business—small or large—may submit an offer. The Navy particularly encourages small manufacturers and suppliers of diesel engine components or military aftermarket parts to consider bidding.
Familiarity with military specifications and defense supply chain requirements is essential. Offerors should be prepared to demonstrate quality management systems, traceability of parts, and compliance with any specific technical standards referenced in the full solicitation.
How to put together a competitive bid
Obtain the complete technical package. Download the full solicitation from SAM.gov to review the specific governor model, performance specifications, and any military standards (MIL-STD) or component drawings that apply.
Verify your production capacity. NAVSUP WSS contracts often involve spare parts for legacy naval equipment. Confirm you can meet delivery schedules and any minimum order quantities—see the solicitation for requirements.
Address quality assurance. Navy engine components typically require rigorous inspection and documentation. If you hold AS9100 or ISO 9001 certification, highlight this. Be ready to provide material certifications, test reports, and source inspection protocols if specified.
Price strategically. Without a set-aside, you compete against all qualified sources, including large OEMs. Research your manufacturing costs carefully and consider whether your competitiveness lies in price, delivery speed, or technical expertise with obsolete or hard-to-find components.
Review packaging and shipping. Defense items often have specialized packaging requirements per MIL-STD-2073. Factor these costs into your pricing.
Assess past performance relevance. If you have delivered FSC 2910 items or supported NAVSUP WSS previously, emphasize this in your proposal.
