59--CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMB, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE NAVY.NAVSUP.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT.NAVSUP WSS MECHANICSBURG.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT MECH · Response deadline: Mon, 16 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, is soliciting bids for circuit card assembly repair and modification work. This falls under Federal Supply Classification 5998—electrical and electronic equipment components—and NAICS code 334412, which covers printed circuit board manufacturing and related services.
Circuit card assemblies are critical components in military electronics systems, including weapons platforms, communications gear, navigation systems, and other defense equipment. Repair and modification work in this context typically involves troubleshooting failed cards, replacing damaged components, upgrading firmware, applying engineering changes, and testing to restore or enhance functionality rather than procuring new units.
Given NAVSUP WSS's role as a primary logistics support organization for naval weapons systems, this work likely supports sustainment of legacy electronic systems across Navy and Marine Corps platforms where original manufacturers may no longer produce the items.

Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no small business set-aside, meaning any qualified contractor—large or small—may bid. To be competitive, bidders should have:
- Active SAM.gov registration and not be on any exclusion lists
- Facility clearance appropriate for handling defense electronics, likely at minimum a Secret-level clearance given NAVSUP WSS's portfolio
- ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications strongly preferred for defense electronics work
- Established capabilities in surface-mount and through-hole rework, BGA rework, conformal coating removal/reapplication, and automated test equipment
- Experience with military specifications: MIL-PRF-55110, MIL-STD-883, IPC-A-610 Class 3, and J-STD-001 requirements
- Diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS) expertise, common in legacy circuit card sustainment
Small businesses without prior NAVSUP WSS experience may face challenges competing against established depot-level repair contractors or OEMs, but can position on agility, cost, or specialized technical capabilities for niche card families.
How to put together a competitive bid
Review the technical requirements carefully. Repair/modification solicitations vary significantly—some specify exact card national stock numbers (NSNs) and quantities, others are indefinite-delivery requirements with estimated volume ranges. See the solicitation for scope details.
Demonstrate traceable technical competence. Include past performance on similar military circuit card programs, with specific metrics for turnaround time, yield rates, and quality escapes. NAVSUP WSS prioritizes operational availability of weapon systems.
Address obsolescence management. Proactive approaches to sourcing end-of-life components, including approved alternative part identification and engineering change proposal capabilities, distinguish competitive bids.
Price strategically. Repair work pricing typically combines labor rates, material handling fees, and per-card repair charges. Understand whether the contract structure is firm-fixed-price, time-and-materials, or hybrid. Material cost volatility in electronics supply chains affects risk allocation.
Confirm security and cyber requirements. NAVSUP WSS mechanicsburg operations fall under DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST SP 800-171/CMMC requirements for handling covered defense information.
