59--CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMB, IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE NAVY.NAVSUP.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT.NAVSUP WSS PHILADELPHIA.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT · Response deadline: Thu, 19 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy is soliciting for repair and modification services related to circuit card assemblies. This falls under the broader category of electronic component manufacturing and repair work, specifically for military applications. Circuit card assemblies are printed circuit boards populated with electronic components—essential building blocks in naval weapons systems, communications equipment, and other electronic platforms.
Work of this type typically involves diagnosing failures in existing circuit cards, replacing damaged components, upgrading firmware or hardware to meet new specifications, and testing to ensure functionality meets military standards. The Navy's Weapon Systems Support activity in Philadelphia manages this procurement, indicating the repaired or modified assemblies likely support aviation, shipboard, or weapons systems maintained by NAVSUP WSS.

Who can bid
This solicitation carries NAICS code 334412 (Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing). While the title emphasizes repair and modification rather than bare board fabrication, this NAICS indicates the government has classified the work within electronics manufacturing and repair services. Firms registered under this code or related electronics repair NAICS should review the solicitation carefully for any size standard applicable to this procurement.
No set-aside program is indicated in the metadata, meaning this appears to be a full and open competition unless the solicitation document specifies otherwise. Any qualified U.S. business meeting the stated qualifications may bid. However, defense electronics work often involves security clearances, ITAR compliance, and quality certifications (see the solicitation for specific requirements).
Small businesses should verify their small business status against the applicable SBA size standard for NAICS 334412, which is typically 1,000 employees for manufacturing. Service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, 8(a), and women-owned small businesses should still register their certifications in SAM.gov, as subcontracting goals or subsequent set-aside determinations may apply.
How to put together a competitive bid
For circuit card assembly repair and modification work, bids should demonstrate:
Technical capability: Document your repair station capabilities, including component-level rework equipment (hot air stations, BGA rework systems, X-ray inspection), traceability systems for military parts, and environmental testing capacity. The Navy often requires compliance with IPC-A-610 and IPC-J-STD-001 standards for acceptability of electronic assemblies.
Quality systems: MIL-PRF-38534 or MIL-STD-883 experience strengthens competitiveness. Detail your counterfeit parts avoidance program—critical for military electronics sourcing.
Past performance: Cite similar repair/modification contracts, preferably Navy or other DoD. Include CPARS ratings if available.
Cost realism: Repair work bids require labor hour estimates by skill level (technician, engineer, QA), material pricing with approved sources, and learning curve assumptions. The government typically evaluates total evaluated price including option years.
Small business source plans: If you're other than small, include a subcontracting plan with NAVSUP WSS small business goals.
