What the government is buying

The Navy is soliciting for a REPAIR MODULE,STRAI—a repair component related to pipe fitting, tubing, hose, or related fluid conveyance systems. The specific item name refers to a repair module for straight (strai-) pipe or tubing configuration, falling under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 4730, which covers pipe fittings, hose fittings, and lubrication fittings. This type of procurement typically supports maintenance and repair operations for naval vessels, aircraft, or shore facilities where fluid systems require replacement or refurbishment of modular components rather than complete system replacement.

Work under NAICS 332919 involves other metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing, including the fabrication, machining, and finishing of metal fittings and components used in pressure and fluid systems. Companies in this space produce items such as couplings, unions, adapters, and repair kits from materials including brass, stainless steel, aluminum, and various alloys rated for marine or military specifications.

Key facts

Who can bid

This is a full and open competition with no small-business set-aside, meaning businesses of any size may submit offers. However, small businesses—including those in SBA size standards under 500 employees for NAICS 332919—are strongly encouraged to compete.

To bid, your firm must be registered in SAM.gov with active registration through the contract performance period. Given the Navy customer and FSC 4730 content, the successful offeror will likely need to demonstrate:

• Experience manufacturing or repairing metal pipe/tube fittings to military or commercial marine specifications
• Quality management system (see the solicitation for specific requirements such as ISO 9001, NADCAP, or MIL-I-45208)
• Traceability and material certification capabilities for alloy components
• Ability to deliver against Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) or Navy technical data packages

How to put together a competitive bid

Understand the technical data package. Navy repair modules typically ship with military specification drawings, material specifications, and acceptance test protocols. Download all attachments from SAM.gov and verify you can source certified materials and perform required testing.

Validate your manufacturing capacity. Assess whether your equipment can produce to the stated tolerances, surface finish requirements, and thread specifications (likely NPT, AN/MS, or other military standards). Subcontract machining or finishing only if your SAM registration and proposed plan of action support it.

Price strategically for full and open competition. Without a set-aside, you compete against large established defense contractors. Emphasize lean lead times, past Navy performance, and unique manufacturing efficiencies. Review the solicitation for any Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) ratings that may affect scheduling.

Address packaging and marking. DLA/Navy contracts often require MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073 military preservation and packing. Factor these costs into your proposal rather than treating them as incidental.

Confirm your representations. For full and open competition, accurate size status and affiliates disclosures are critical. False claims can trigger suspension or debarment.
