59--PRINTED CIRCUIT BOA, 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: Thu, 05 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Navy's NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg is soliciting offers for repair or modification of printed circuit boards. This is electronics maintenance work supporting naval weapons systems—keeping existing circuit boards operational rather than procuring new ones. Printed circuit boards are the foundational components in virtually all modern electronic equipment, so this work likely supports a range of Navy platforms where original equipment manufacturer support may be limited or cost-prohibitive.
NAICS code 334412 covers "Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing." While that code primarily describes fabrication, it also encompasses repair, reworking, and modification services for these components. This type of sustainment work is common in defense electronics, where legacy systems remain in service long after original production lines have closed.

Who can bid
This is an unrestricted solicitation—no set-aside program is listed, meaning all responsible offerors regardless of business size may compete. Both large and small businesses in the electronics repair and manufacturing sector are eligible.
To compete effectively, a firm typically needs capabilities in: microelectronics repair (including surface-mount and through-hole component work); circuit board-level diagnostics and troubleshooting; conformance to military specifications for electronics rework (such as IPC-A-610 acceptability standards and J-STD-001 soldering requirements); and experience with Department of Defense quality systems and supply chain traceability.
If your business qualifies as small under NAICS 334412 (size standard: 500 employees), you will still compete on the same terms as larger firms—there is no small business preference automatically applied here.
How to put together a competitive bid
Understand the technical requirements: The solicitation likely specifies which circuit board types, quantities, turnaround times, and technical standards apply. See the solicitation for exact repair specifications, testing protocols, and any approved sources for replacement components.
Demonstrate relevant performance history: NAVSUP WSS prioritizes contractors with proven experience in defense electronics sustainment. Highlight past performance on similar circuit board repair contracts, especially those with Navy or other DoD customers. Include details about your facility certifications (IPC, ISO 9001, AS9100 if applicable).
Address quality assurance explicitly: Military electronics repair demands rigorous quality systems. Your proposal should detail inspection processes, environmental controls, electrostatic discharge precautions, component obsolescence management, and defect documentation procedures.
Evaluate the supply chain: Component obsolescence is a major challenge in legacy defense electronics. Be prepared to explain how you will source conforming replacement parts, including any need for alternate source qualification or component form-fit-function equivalents.
Price strategically: Unrestricted competitions with larger firms often pressure margins. Calculate your costs precisely, factoring in material volatility, test equipment amortization, and the administrative burden of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) compliance.
