The Navy's NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support office wants a SENSOR SYSTEM, ELECTRO repaired, part number 45000-49, National Stock Number (NSN: the item's supply catalog number) 5895200120904, for a Foreign Military Sales (FMS: U.S. equipment sold to allied governments) requirement. The quantity is unclear: QTY 2 in the notice, 1 Each in the schedule. The response due date is November 16, 2026, 9:00 PM Eastern, and the documents read do not say how to send a quote.
Who can bid
- Active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM)
- A quality management system: the clause lists ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems - Requirements as the higher-level standard, and an 'OTHER' system must be named for review
Things to watch (7)
From the version posted Oct 15, 2026.
- Worth checking: Quantity unclear: QTY 2 or 1 Each. The notice says QTY 2, but the schedule line 0001AA lists 1 Each (with one serial number), and a quote is priced per unit, so ask the contracting officer which is right.
- Worth checking: 110-day repair turnaround; prices tied to meeting it. Repair turnaround time (RTAT) runs from the item reaching your facility to Government acceptance. The price is based on meeting it, and a miss means consideration to be negotiated.
- Worth checking: CAV RP registration needs a digital certificate, training and an access form. The Commercial Asset Visibility Repairables Portal (CAV RP) tracks repair items. Registration needs a purchased commercial public key infrastructure (PKI) certificate, about 1 hour of training and a System Authorization Access Request (SAAR), all within 30 days of the order.

- Minor: Delivery date of December 31, 2028 beside a 110-day turnaround. Section F lists a delivery date of December 31, 2028, while the RTAT is 110 days after receipt; ask how the two work together.
- Minor: Do not repair until the Government says so on beyond-repair units. For units found beyond repair, you need written agreement from the Government quality assurance representative and then notice from the contracting officer before you may proceed.
- Minor: Contractor must supply the reusable shipping container. The packaging sheet names a container NSN and says container sources are on an attached form; for FMS the container is contractor-furnished, which adds cost.
- Minor: Item identification marking required. The item must carry a DoD unique identification mark under DFARS 252.211-7003, which adds work and cost.
