# Navy Seeks Suppliers for 129 Naval Parts

NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support issued RFI N0010427RZ058 to assess industry capabilities to additively manufacture 129 candidate naval parts and gather input on potential contract pricing and evaluation methods. The RFI is market research, not a solicitation or contract award; NAVSUP indicates SUBSAFE items may be considered in a later phase. Responses are due **November 2, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET (11 days from October 22)**. Interested suppliers should review the RFI and attachments, submit a PDF response, and register in the NAVSUP Interested Vendor Database.

- Suppliers should describe relevant manufacturing, quality, testing, and certification capabilities, and provide grounded input on pricing and evaluation approaches requested by NAVSUP.
- The 129-part candidate list offers manufacturers an opportunity to communicate capability and inform potential future Navy procurement; responding to this RFI does not itself secure an award or guarantee a later solicitation.
- Companies with submarine or safety-critical-part capabilities can note that SUBSAFE items may follow, while distinguishing those prospective needs from the current market-research scope.
- Related additive-manufacturing efforts include the Joint Additive Manufacturing Acceptance (JAMA) IDIQ pilot and a BlueForge Alliance-placed order for five non-safety-critical submarine replacement components, indicating additional activity in defense parts procurement.
