What the government is buying
The Navy is seeking repair services for a specific radar component identified as NIIN 016691341, with the nomenclature "RECEIVER-TRANSMITTER, RADAR." NIIN stands for National Item Identification Number, which is part of the federal supply classification system used to catalog military equipment and spare parts. The item falls under FSC 5841, the classification for radar equipment.
A receiver-transmitter, or transceiver, is a combined unit that both receives incoming radar signals and transmits outgoing pulses. These are critical components in naval radar systems used for navigation, surveillance, target tracking, and weapons guidance. Repair work on military avionics and radar electronics typically involves troubleshooting, component-level diagnostics, replacement of failed parts, calibration, and testing to meet military specifications. See the solicitation for the specific repair standards, testing requirements, and any applicable military specifications or technical data packages.
This type of repair contract is common in the Navy's organic industrial base and through commercial repair vendors who maintain Navy certification to work on specific weapons systems.

Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open with no small business set-aside, meaning businesses of any size may compete. The relevant NAICS code is 334511: Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. Firms classified under this NAICS or with relevant capabilities in radar electronics repair may bid, provided they can satisfy any technical qualifications.
Given the nature of military radar repair, bidders likely need:
- Experience with military or high-reliability electronics repair
- Capability to handle classified technical data or controlled unclassified technical information (if applicable)
- Appropriate facility clearances or ability to work within Navy-approved processes
- Quality systems meeting standards typical for defense work (such as ISO 9001, AS9100, or Navy-specific certification requirements)
See the solicitation for any mandatory qualification requirements, past performance criteria, or facility/ personnel security requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
For a radar receiver-transmitter repair contract, focus your proposal on:
Technical approach: Detail your diagnostic capabilities, repair methodology, and how you ensure returned units meet original performance specifications. Describe your experience with similar radar or avionics transceivers, including any legacy military systems.
Quality assurance: Explain your testing and calibration equipment, traceability procedures, and how you verify repairs against military standards. Include any relevant third-party certifications.
Past performance: Cite similar repair contracts, especially Navy or DoD radar electronics work. Highlight on-time delivery rates and quality metrics.
Pricing strategy: Repair contracts may be structured per-unit fixed price or with estimated quantities. See the solicitation for the specific pricing structure. Ensure your labor rates and material markups account for the specialized nature of military-grade components.
Logistics: Address turnaround times, shipping procedures for sensitive electronics, and any shelf-life or storage requirements for repaired units awaiting delivery.
Since no place of performance is listed in the metadata, confirm whether repair must occur at a Navy facility, your own facility, or a hybrid arrangement—this affects cost and compliance significantly.
