Actuator Arm Precision Fabrication

The contract pertains to the precision fabrication of high-strength actuator arms under Section J drawings, demanding tight dimensional tolerances, specialized close-tolerance drilling, and advanced surface finishing techniques to meet rigorous performance standards. The work must adhere strictly to technical specifications outlined in the drawings, with an emphasis on material integrity, surface quality, and dimensional accuracy essential for aerospace and defense applications. The contract is structured as a subcontract and falls under NAICS code 332710, indicating it involves metal forging and stamping operations, though the core tasks focus on precision machining and surface treatment rather than primary metal forming. The solicitation was posted on August 3, 2026, with a firm deadline for responses at 4:00 PM on August 13, 2026, indicating a short but critical window for qualified manufacturers to submit proposals. The contracting entity is the Naval Air Warfare Center under the Department of Defense, suggesting the final components will support naval aviation systems requiring high reliability and durability. The place of performance and point of contact details are unspecified, implying that proposers must be prepared to coordinate directly with the agency for further clarifications or site-specific requirements, and the work may be performed at the bidder’s facility as long as compliance with all technical and quality control parameters is maintained.
