What the government is buying

This is a Department of the Navy procurement handled by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Philadelphia for an item under FSC 1680—Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components. Items in this classification typically include parts and equipment that support aircraft operation but aren't classified under more specific categories like engines or avionics. This could encompass items such as cargo handling systems, quick-disconnect couplings, or other specialized aircraft support equipment. The specific item description, technical specifications, and intended end-use aircraft system see the solicitation.

Key facts

Who can bid

This solicitation is open to all responsible offerors—no small business set-aside applies. Large businesses, small businesses, and other eligible entities may compete.

NAICS 336413 corresponds to Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. Firms in this industry manufacture aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment (except aircraft engines and engine parts, avionics, in-flight guidance systems, and otherwise classified major subassemblies). If your firm manufactures or supplies qualifying items under this NAICS, you are eligible to bid regardless of size standard status.

Given the NAVSUP WSS buyer, potential bidders should note that this activity supports naval aviation supply chains. Experience with Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) or military aviation contracts is advantageous but not required if you can meet technical and delivery requirements.

How to put together a competitive bid

For an open FSC 1680 procurement with NAVSUP WSS Philadelphia:

Emphasize past performance with defense aviation supply. NAVSUP WSS evaluates reliability heavily. Document any prior Navy, Marine Corps, or other DoD contracts for aircraft components, including Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs) or similar references.

Verify your cage code and SAM registration. Active SAM.gov registration is mandatory. Confirm your CAGE code status and that your representations and certifications are current.

Scrutinize the technical data package. FSC 1680 items often carry specific military specifications (MIL-PRF, MIL-STD) or commodity descriptions. Any deviation from stated requirements typically requires advance approval; flag these early.

Price strategically for full and open competition. Without set-aside restrictions, expect competition from established defense contractors. Analyze historical pricing through FPDS or SAM.gov award data for comparable NSNs if available. Factor in NAVSUP WSS's standard terms for packaging, marking, and delivery to Philadelphia or directed secondary destinations.

Address supply chain and obsolescence risks. For older aircraft platforms, demonstrate how you will manage source qualification, alternate sourcing, or engineering support if the item involves discontinued components.

Submit through proper electronic channels. Follow solicitation instructions for proposal submission, likely through SAM.gov or as specified in Section L/M format.
