Inspection, Repair & Install of AFT Winch Inverter

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is conducting market research to procure inspection, repair, and installation services for an AFT Winch Inverter (Part Number 860-02024) on the USS MAKIN ISLAND (LHD-8). The Navy seeks to determine whether small businesses possess the capability to execute the requirements, with potential consideration for establishing a small business set-aside based on responses received. Interested contractors must submit a capabilities statement not exceeding five pages by April 27, 2026 at 11:00 AM PST to the Contract Specialist at dionte.l.grays.civ@us.navy.mil. The submission must include company information, DUNS number, business size designation, CAGE code, and relevant contracting experience details. This is a sources sought announcement for market research purposes only; respondents are explicitly instructed not to submit formal proposals at this time, as the government's requirements may change.

The procurement carries no set-aside designation at this stage, pending small business response evaluation. The contractor will be responsible for inspecting the Port Boat Davit Inverter, assessing its material condition, and determining whether refurbishment or replacement is necessary; if refurbishment is selected, the contractor must reinstall the unit, perform operational checks, conduct OPTEST and quality assurance testing, and troubleshoot until saturated OPTEST is achieved. The work is scheduled to be performed at Naval Base San Diego, Pier 8, with a performance period from July 31, 2026 through August 30, 2026. No award value or specific budget range is disclosed in this sources sought notice. The procurement is classified under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and PSC J020 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild Of Equipment- Ship And Marine Equipment).
