NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (U.S. Navy) wants quotes to repair 4 electron tubes (part number 6155764) used on the AEGIS weapon system for a Foreign Military Sales customer. This is a repair job, not a purchase of new parts, and only a firm-fixed price for the repair is accepted. Quotes are emailed and are due 22 Oct 2026, and only an authorized repair source can be awarded the work.
Watch out for
- Must be an authorized repair source. The Navy will not wait for a new source to get authorized, so a shop that is not already approved for this item likely cannot win.
proposed contract action will not be delayed while an unauthorized source seeks to obtain authorization.
- Evaluation method conflicts. Section A says best value with price, past performance and supplier risk, while Section M says lowest priced technically acceptable, so ask the contracting officer which one applies.
Award will be made to the responsible offeror submitting the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer.
- NSN changed by amendment. Amendment 0001 changed the NSN on line 0001 from 5960014872175 to 5960013228417 while keeping part number 6155764, and the notice header still shows the old NSN, so confirm the right item before quoting.
4NSN: 5960013228417P/N: 6155764 Nomen:
- Fixed price must cover unknown condition. Your fixed repair price has to absorb missing, damaged or worn parts on assets you have not yet seen.
Include repair price with all costs associated with receipt and complete repair of material that may be in
- Late-repair price reductions. Missing the turnaround time you quote cuts your price for each unit for each month late, on top of possible default termination.
Any asset(s) for which the contractor does not meet the required RTAT will incur a price reduction per unit/per
- Repair-only quotes. A price for testing and evaluation alone will not be accepted, so you need a true repair price.
The quoted price MUST be for the REPAIR of the item(s).
- Template text left in the RFQ. Several sections still carry blanks and drafting notes (for example RTAT days, DoDAACs and a definitization clause), so expect questions and clarifications.
