What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy is seeking a pump unit, lube oil (L/O) keep for its naval assets. This is a supply procurement for a mechanical component critical to marine propulsion and auxiliary systems.
NAICS code 333914 corresponds to Measuring, Dispensing, and Other Pumping Equipment Manufacturing. This classification covers industrial pumps and pumping equipment, including those designed for fluid handling in demanding operational environments like naval vessels.
Lube oil pump units in naval applications typically circulate lubricating oil to engines, turbines, gearboxes, and other rotating machinery. These must meet stringent military specifications for reliability, corrosion resistance, and performance under vibration, temperature extremes, and saltwater exposure. The "keep" designation in the item name suggests this may relate to a specific configuration or mounting arrangement—see the solicitation for the precise technical description.
Without a set-aside designation, this solicitation is open to all responsible sources under full and open competition.

Who can bid
This opportunity is open to all responsible businesses, including small and large manufacturers. There is no small business set-aside, no SDVOSB preference, and no HUBZone or 8(a) limitation. Foreign and domestic manufacturers may compete, though defense procurements typically require compliance with U.S. trade agreements, Berry Amendment provisions for domestic specialty metals, and Buy American Act requirements—see the solicitation for specific domestic content rules.
Eligible bidders should demonstrate capability in:
- Manufacturing or sourcing MIL-SPEC pumping equipment
- Defense supply chain experience, including NAVSUP WSS transactions
- Quality systems meeting naval requirements (often ISO 9001 or AS9100, plus specific military quality standards)
Small manufacturers in this NAICS should note that size standards and any subcontracting plans will be governed by standard SBA thresholds for 333914.
How to put together a competitive bid
Given the naval application and NAVSUP WSS as the procuring activity, bidders should prioritize technical compliance over price alone.
Technical documentation: Obtain or verify access to the specific military specification this pump must meet. NAVSUP WSS procurements typically cite drawing numbers, performance curves, materials specifications, and testing requirements. See the solicitation for the complete technical data package.
Quality and traceability: Prepare evidence of your quality management system. Navy mechanical components require material certifications, source inspection, and often witness testing. Identify whether the government requires first article testing or source inspection at your facility.
Past performance: If you have delivered to NAVSUP WSS, Defense Logistics Agency, or Navy shipyards, highlight identical or similar items. For new entrants to Navy supply, consider subcontracting arrangements with established defense manufacturers or emphasizing your commercial marine/offshore oil and gas experience as relevant.
Delivery and packaging: Review the solicitation for required preservation, packing, and shipping specifications. Navy material shipments have strict marking, RFID, and documentation requirements through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system.
Pricing strategy: Full and open competition against larger pump manufacturers means understanding total evaluated price—including any government-furnished equipment, tooling, or testing costs you must absorb.
