Compressor Rotor Assembly Static Balance Fixture

A precision fixture is being procured for the static balancing of compressor rotor assemblies during engine overhaul operations, with the primary goal of ensuring exact alignment and rotational stability. The fixture must be meticulously designed and fabricated to meet stringent engineering specifications, enabling technicians to accurately balance components critical to engine performance and safety. This subcontract opportunity, classified under NAICS code 332710 for machine shops and related manufacturing services, is issued by the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division under the Department of Defense, and it requires the contractor to deliver a custom solution tailored to the unique dimensional and operational demands of naval aircraft propulsion systems. The solicitation is open with a response deadline of July 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM, providing potential vendors with a narrow window to submit proposals. While no specific set aside status or organizational type restrictions are indicated, the place of performance and agency location details are not specified, suggesting flexibility in execution but also implying that proximity to defense facilities or compliance with defense manufacturing standards may be essential. The nature of the work demands advanced machining capabilities, high tolerance control, and a clear understanding of aerospace-grade balancing procedures, with successful bidders expected to demonstrate relevant experience in precision fixture design for rotating machinery within military aviation contexts.
