NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (Navy) wants 18 aircraft landing gear wheels repaired under a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case.

Offers are due 5 Nov 2026 at noon Eastern.
Watch out for
- Evaluation criteria not shown. Section M (Evaluation Factors for Award) is empty in the text provided, so you cannot tell how the Navy will pick a winner.
Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award
- Foreign military sale, work in Australia. This is an FMS requirement with the repair facility listed in Australia, so a U.S. small shop may not be able to do the work or may need an Australian repair partner.
FMS Requirement
- Named repair facilities already on the schedule. Each line item already names a repair facility (RUAG Australia Pty Ltd., and Honeywell International Inc. on the summary line), which suggests the Navy expects specific sources.
Repair Facility: RUAG Australia Pty Ltd.
- Repair of Government-owned units with strict stop rules. You must not start work if the units received do not exactly match the order, and you must contact the Navy if they have not arrived within 45 days.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE CONTRACTOR PROCEED WITH THE PERFORMANCE UNDER
- Portal registration needs a purchased certificate and training. CAV RP access takes a paid PKI certificate, training and an access request, and the account must be logged into at least every 30 days.
Contractors not already registered for, or reporting via, CAV RP are required to initiate registration no later than 10 days
- Long delivery horizon. Delivery is estimated by the end of 2029, so the work and your capacity commitment could run several years.
Delivery Date 31 Dec 2029
- Set-aside status unclear. The notice says no set-aside was used, but the attached form header and clause list mention women-owned small business set-asides; the checked boxes did not come through in the text.
- Blank fields in the solicitation. Many fill-in blanks (contract type, quality standard, payment document types, DoDAACs) are empty, so final terms may change by amendment.
