N00104 NAVSUP WSS parts buys and repair: valves, bushings, pumps, and an OVP board

Executive takeaway

NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (Mechanicsburg) has several open solicitations for ship/weapon-system-related parts and at least one repair action. Across these notices, the common theme is documentation discipline: item unique identification (IUID), source inspection requirements, traceability/authorization when you’re not the OEM, and WAWF/Combo invoice workflows. If you already operate in Navy supply with strong QA and inspection readiness, these are workable bids; if you’re new to NAVSUP WSS terms, plan time to pull the drawings/IRPOD and validate every part number/NSN before pricing.

What the buyer is trying to do

The buyer is procuring specific replacement components (multiple valve-related buys, a bushing requirement with multiple CLINs/part numbers, and an electronics board) and, separately, seeking a repair solution for a centrifugal pump with a stated repair turnaround objective. Several notices are explicitly tied to Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities (EAF), with bilateral award language and accelerated delivery encouraged in some cases.

Opportunities in this set:

• DISK,VALVE (N0010426QNB27)
• BUSHING (N0010426QAA71)
• PUMP, CENTRIFUGAL – repair (N0010425QCC40)
• OVP BOARD (N0010425QSA80)
• VALVE, BALL (N0010426QBL73)
• 48--VALVE, BALL (N0010426QZA59)

What work is implied (bullets)

• Confirm exact identity before quoting (several notices say to verify nomenclature, part number, and NSN prior to responding).
• Manufacture or supply the specified hardware to the required standard (e.g., valves/valve components, electronics board, bushings).
• Repair execution (pump RFQ) including proposing a repair turnaround time (RTAT) and pricing at unit and total levels.
• Inspection readiness, including Government Source Inspection (GSI) where stated, and meeting the solicitation’s inspection/acceptance terms.
• Quality system/requirements compliance where specified (examples in these notices include higher-level quality requirements such as ISO9001 on one valve buy, and MIL-I-45208 on another).
• IUID/valuation compliance (IUID clause appears across these notices).
• Traceability and authorization documentation when not the manufacturer (e.g., OEM identification and letter of authorization as a distributor where required; traceability notice on OVP board).
• WAWF/Combo invoicing setup per “Wide Area Workflow Payment Instructions,” including any separate certification receiving reports when required.
• Delivery terms alignment (FOB Destination on some actions; FOB Origin and Navy-handled freight language on others—verify per the schedule/attachments).
• Option CLIN awareness where present (e.g., OVP board includes a 100% 365-day option CLIN; pump and board mention options for increased quantity).
• Pre-bid artifact review where mandated (e.g., IRPOD review mandatory for one valve-ball action; drawings download path provided for the bushing RFQ).

Who should bid / who should pass (bullets)

• Bid if:
  • You already sell into NAVSUP WSS (or similar) and can execute GSI, IUID requirements, and WAWF processes without rework.
  • You can meet the stated repair RTAT target (pump) or credibly justify constraints if you can’t meet the requested RTAT.
  • You have strong traceability controls (especially if you are a distributor rather than the OEM/manufacturer).
  • You can support required quality expectations (e.g., ISO9001 or the listed higher-level quality requirement, where applicable).
  • You can access and comply with required technical data (drawings via SAM.gov for the bushing; IRPOD review for the valve-ball action that requires it).
• Pass if:
  • You cannot support Government Source Inspection or don’t have facilities/processes to host/coordinate it.
  • You cannot provide OEM authorization/traceability where the solicitation calls it out (especially for controlled/traceable supply chains).
  • You are unable to accommodate bilateral award mechanics and the solicitation’s administrative rhythm (e.g., written acceptance prior to execution).
  • You can’t meet the inspection system planning/premanufacturing or test procedure expectations where specified (verify in attachments for details).

Response package checklist

• Completed quote with unit price and total price (multiple notices prompt both).
• For the pump repair: include RTAT in days and address capacity constraints if not meeting the Government’s requested RTAT.
• For the OVP board: include procurement turnaround time (PTAT) and any requested CAGE-related fields (verify in attachments).
• Part number / NSN verification statement and any supporting substantiation (verify in attachments).
• OEM/manufacturer identification and a signed letter of authorization if you are not the OEM/manufacturer and the RFQ requires it.
• Traceability documentation where the solicitation includes a traceability notice (verify specifics in attachments).
• Inspection plan readiness for GSI and any required plans/procedures (e.g., “Inspection system program plans, or premanufacturing or test procedures” where listed—verify in attachments).
• IUID/marking compliance artifacts as applicable (verify marking/UID requirements in attachments).
• WAWF/Combo invoicing capability confirmation aligned to the instructions in the notice.
• Acknowledgment of any amendments (several notices state close-date extensions and clause updates—verify current amendment status in attachments/SAM.gov).

Pricing & strategy notes

These actions look like classic NAVSUP WSS “tight ID, tight compliance” buys/repairs. Your pricing strategy should be built from verifiable technical scope and the administrative costs of compliance—not guesses.

• Start with the technical baseline: pull drawings (the bushing RFQ explicitly points to SAM.gov for drawings) and confirm any mandatory IRPOD review (explicitly required on the valve-ball solicitation that cites it).
• Price the compliance overhead: GSI coordination, any required inspection/test documentation, IUID marking/valuation workflow, and WAWF processing time.
• Repair RFQ (pump): build a costed route based on teardown/diagnosis, parts, reassembly, test, documentation, and the stated RTAT target. If you can beat the requested turnaround, the notice states accelerated delivery is encouraged.
• Watch delivery terms: some solicitations are FOB Destination, while others state FOB Origin and/or Navy-handled freight under a CAV statement of work (pump). Confirm which costs belong in your quote versus Government-provided transportation.
• Consider option CLIN exposure: where a 365-day option for increased quantity exists, ensure your pricing remains valid for the required period and your supply chain can scale.
• Validity window: one valve-ball notice asks for pricing validity (default 60 days unless otherwise specified). Make sure your supplier quotes and lead times align with that window.

Subcontracting / teaming ideas

• Authorized distribution partner for OEM-controlled parts if you are not the OEM/manufacturer but can manage traceability and obtain letters of authorization.
• NDT/radiography support partner if your internal capability is limited and the delivery schedule references radiographic artifacts (verify details in the valve-ball “48--” solicitation attachments).
• Source inspection support: a local/regional quality services partner to help you prepare packages and host GSI efficiently.
• Repair specialty shop teaming for the pump repair if you can manage program/compliance but need dedicated pump repair/test capability to hit RTAT.

Risks & watch-outs

• Mandatory pre-bid review items: the valve-ball solicitation states vendor review of the IRPOD is mandatory—missing it can make your quote noncompliant.
• GSI requirement: multiple notices call out Government Source Inspection; plan schedule float and document readiness.
• Award basis differences: the bushing RFQ notes multiple CLINs and that award will be based on total dollar value, not individual unit price—optimize your total package, not just one line.
• Bilateral award mechanics: several notices say the resultant award will be issued bilaterally and requires written acceptance prior to execution.
• Quality requirement specificity: some notices cite higher-level quality requirements (e.g., ISO9001, MIL-I-45208). Confirm your certifications/quality system alignment before you commit.
• Delivery schedule artifacts: the “48--VALVE, BALL” notice includes a proposed schedule referencing radiographic shooting sketches and approvals—ensure you can actually meet those gating events (verify in attachments/DD form references).
• Cyber/security clauses: at least one notice includes a CMMC level requirements clause and security prohibitions/exclusions. Confirm your compliance posture (verify applicability in attachments).
• FOB and freight handling: do not assume freight responsibility—some are FOB Destination, others FOB Origin with Navy-managed freight. Quote accordingly.
