NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg: small-business set-aside hardware buys + electronics repairs to watch this week

Executive takeaway

NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg posted multiple parts and repair actions on 2026-02-06 with tight response windows. The immediate differentiators across these notices are (1) whether the buy is manufacture/supply versus full repair, (2) whether government source inspection is required, and (3) whether you can support OEM/distributor traceability and any BOA-driven terms. One action (barometer) explicitly notes the Government lacks data rights and intends to pursue only one source—worth pursuing only if you can credibly overcome the data barrier.

What the buyer is trying to do

Across this batch, NAVSUP WSS is trying to keep fleet readiness moving by:

• Procuring specific, identified parts (including OEM-referenced items) and shipping them to DLA distribution points in Pennsylvania and California.
• Executing firm-fixed-price repair actions for electronics (circuit card assembly repair/modification), including requirements for item identification/valuation and standard DoD invoicing workflows.
• Accelerating at least one buy under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities (EAF), with early delivery encouraged.

Several notices signal that award may be bilateral (contractor acceptance required) and that documentation and quality planning artifacts may matter as much as unit price.

What work is implied (bullets)

• Electronics repair quoting for circuit card assembly work, including a request to quote a FFP or NTE price for full repair (verify in attachments and solicitation language).
• Compliance with Commercial Asset Visibility (CAV) for at least one repair purchase order, as referenced in NAVSUPWSSFA24 (verify applicability in the full documents).
• Manufacture/supply of OEM-specified components including Parker Hannifin referenced items (gasket and custom hose part numbers/cage references appear in the snippets).
• Government source inspection is called out on multiple actions (plan lead time and facility readiness for on-site/at-source inspection).
• WAWF / Wide Area Workflow invoicing and receiving report processes (combo invoice/receiving report appears repeatedly; exact routing data often shown as TBD/see schedule).
• FOB terms vary: one action states FOB Origin with freight; others indicate FOB Destination—ensure your logistics assumptions match each RFQ.
• Multi-CLIN evaluation for at least one hose solicitation: award based on total dollar value, not per-line unit price.
• Delivery expectations include references like “90 days after award” (option for increased quantity language appears in one notice) and other delivery day blanks to be completed—confirm in the schedule/attachments.

Who should bid / who should pass (bullets)

• Bid if:
  • You already perform FFP electronics repair for Navy-managed items (e.g., CCA/5998) and can support required quality and documentation (inspection/test planning, warranties, etc., as referenced).
  • You are the OEM or an authorized distributor (or can obtain OEM confirmation) for the “DOMAIN,128GB” item; the solicitation includes a traceability notice requiring an OEM authorization letter/email if you are not the manufacturer.
  • You can handle government source inspection and can meet short or accelerated delivery expectations (EAF language encourages early delivery on the 128GB domain buy).
  • You are a small business positioned for total small business set-aside actions (multiple notices include the “Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside” clause language).
• Pass if:
  • You cannot provide OEM traceability/authorization where required (particularly for the “DOMAIN,128GB” buy).
  • You lack the ability to support at-source inspection or do not have a plan for Government inspection scheduling.
  • You are not positioned to overcome data-rights limits: the barometer notice states the Government does not own the data/rights, finds it uneconomical to buy rights or reverse engineer, and intends to negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1.
  • You cannot support BOA-governed procurements where terms “under BOA N0010421GA100 apply” (one repair notice references BOA terms explicitly).

Response package checklist (bullets; if unknown say 'verify in attachments')

• Completed quote with firm pricing as requested (some notices specify FFP or NTE for repair; others show unit/total firm fields).
• Part/NSN/NIIN verification before responding (explicitly stated on the “DOMAIN,128GB” solicitation).
• Delivery/lead time commitment (PTAT/turnaround fields appear on the 128GB domain RFQ; other schedules specify delivery days—verify in attachments).
• Government source inspection plan acknowledgment where required (multiple notices cite FAR 52.246-2 government source inspection).
• Traceability documentation: if not the manufacturer, provide OEM authorization confirmation (explicit requirement on “DOMAIN,128GB”).
• WAWF invoicing/receiving compliance (combo invoice/receiving report language appears; routing codes often “see schedule/TBD”—verify in attachments).
• Any referenced data items (e.g., Inspection and Test Plan A001/A002 may be waivable if already on file for one CCA repair/mod action—confirm in the full solicitation).
• Representations and certifications as applicable (annual reps/certs clauses are referenced across multiple notices—verify in attachments).

Pricing & strategy notes (how to research pricing; do not invent pricing numbers)

• For repair actions (CCA/5998): build your estimate around diagnostic time, parts replacement assumptions, test/verification, documentation, and inspection overhead. One notice asks for a FFP or NTE price for full repair; ensure your basis of estimate is defensible if the Government challenges repair scope.
• For OEM-referenced supply items (gasket/hose): validate current OEM pricing and availability for the cited part numbers; incorporate inspection scheduling and marking/shipping instructions (special shipping/marking is referenced in the gasket notice).
• For “DOMAIN,128GB” under EAF: speed can be a discriminator. If you can deliver early, reflect that clearly in your turnaround time fields while keeping freight terms aligned (the snippet states All freight is FOB Origin).
• For the multi-CLIN hose buy: the evaluation is based on total dollar value across CLINs. Optimize your bundled pricing and confirm you can supply each listed part number rather than chasing a single attractive line item.
• Market research approach: use your internal sales history for the same NSNs/part numbers, validate lead times with OEM/distribution channels, and account for any added cost of government source inspection and WAWF administration.

Subcontracting / teaming ideas (bullets)

• Partner with an authorized OEM distributor to satisfy the explicit traceability requirement on “DOMAIN,128GB” if you are not the manufacturer.
• For electronics repair, team with a repair lab that already supports Navy processes (inspection/test planning artifacts and warranty administration are referenced) while you prime the contracting/admin workflow.
• Use a logistics/packaging specialist familiar with DoD shipping/marking when special instructions are present (gasket notice references special shipping/marking).
• If you are strong on fabrication but weak on inspection hosting, consider teaming with a facility that can accommodate government source inspection at source.

Risks & watch-outs (bullets)

• Deadline pressure: some response deadlines are very near the posted date (e.g., one CCA repair/mod notice shows a same-day deadline; the 128GB domain buy closes within a week). Confirm you can submit a compliant response in time.
• Data-rights barrier: the barometer action states the Government lacks technical data rights and intends a one-source negotiation under FAR 6.302-1; entering without a credible pathway to qualify is likely wasted effort.
• Inspection risk: government source inspection can extend lead times if you do not proactively schedule and prepare objective evidence of compliance.
• Traceability enforcement: failure to provide OEM authorization (when you are not the manufacturer) can make a quote nonresponsive on “DOMAIN,128GB.”
• BOA terms may govern: one repair notice explicitly states BOA N0010421GA100 terms apply—ensure you understand any incorporated terms/flowdowns before quoting.
• Quantity changes via amendments: at least one notice indicates quantity increases (e.g., 16 to 18 units for the 128GB domain buy; another CCA notice mentions an increased QTY). Reconfirm the latest amendment set before final pricing.

How to act on this

1. Open each notice link and pull the latest RFQ/solicitation package and amendments; confirm quantities, delivery, and inspection language.
2. Decide quickly whether you are pursuing repair (CCA) or supply/manufacture items; build a compliance-first response around traceability, inspection readiness, and WAWF.
3. For any item you are not manufacturing, secure distributor/OEM authorization documentation early—don’t wait until the day of submission.
4. Submit your quote with clear lead time/turnaround commitments and acknowledge any bilateral acceptance requirement stated in the solicitation.
