NIIN:LLW2AA020/P/N:279A146-1/NOM:ESM REC PROCESSOR

Solicitation # N0038327QF192

NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Philadelphia intends to solicit a sole source procurement for one ESM REC PROCESSOR, identified by part number 279A146-1 and NSN 9999LLW2AA020. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 336413 and will be conducted using FAR Part 15 procedures. Because the government does not own the technical data or drawings, the award is expected to go to the currently approved source. Any other interested firms must submit a Source Approval Request, though the procurement process will not be delayed for such approvals. This notice serves as a presolicitation rather than a request for competitive proposals, with an anticipated award date in December 2026. While not a small business set-aside, the government will consider capability statements and quotations submitted within six days of the synopsis to determine if competitive procurement is viable. All solicitation activities will be handled electronically via NECO, and interested parties should direct their qualifications to the primary point of contact, Lauren Phillips.

Solicitation # N0038326QNB37

This presolicitation notice from Navsup Weapon Systems Support is for the repair or modification of six power supply amplifiers under NSN 7R-1680-016422016-P8 with delivery terms set as FOB Origin. Due to the flight critical nature of the item and the specialized technical data and manufacturing knowledge required, the contract necessitates engineering source approval by the design control activity. The government intends to negotiate with a single source under FAR 6.302-1, as existing approved sources hold essential data rights and expertise not economically available to the government. Prospective bidders who are not currently approved sources must submit detailed information via the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Information Brochures to be considered for award. Failure to provide the required source approval data will result in the proposal being disqualified. While the government is currently pursuing a single-source procurement, interested parties may submit capability statements or proposals within the specified timeframe to demonstrate their ability to satisfy the requirement.

Solicitation # NO0383-26-Q-AB01

This Request for Quotations, issued by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Philadelphia on September 11, 2026, seeks technical services for the teardown, evaluation, repair, and/or modification of two specific items: a Module Assembly - Engine (NSN 1680-01-585-4772) and a Proximity Switch EL (NSN 1680-01-585-5024). The primary objective is to return these units to a Ready for Issue (RFI) condition, ensuring they perform reliably in their intended operational environments. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary facilities, labor, materials, and specialized tooling, as the government will not provide manufacturing aids or test equipment unless expressly stated. Because these items are considered flight critical, government source approval is required prior to award, and non-approved sources must submit specific documentation via the NAVSUP WSS Philadelphia Source Approval Information Brochure. The contract mandates strict adherence to technical and quality standards, including ISO 9001 or SAE AS9100 quality management systems and specific calibration requirements. Technical data must comply with MIL-STD-130 for markings and MIL-STD-2073 for packaging, with specific provisions for electrostatic discharge protection and domestic versus overseas shipping levels. Contractors must manage complex repair scenarios, such as items determined to be Beyond Economical Repair (BER), Missing on Induction (MOI), or requiring Over and Above (OAR) repair, all of which require formal written concurrence from DCMA and the Procuring Contracting Officer. Quotations are due by October 13, 2026, and the performance period is set for 90 days following award, with all shipments being FOB Destination.
