What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation is procuring terminal junction blocks — electrical connector components used to distribute and manage circuits in aircraft, vehicles, and other defense systems. Terminal junction blocks serve as central connection points where multiple wires can terminate, simplifying maintenance, troubleshooting, and system modifications in military platforms.
NAICS code 335999 covers "All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing." This classification includes electrical components that don't fall under more specific categories, such as specialized connectors, terminals, and junction assemblies built to military specifications.
This is a Small Business Set Aside - Total procurement, meaning only small business concerns may submit offers. No large business competition will be considered.

Who can bid
Only small business concerns registered in SAM.gov may bid. To qualify as small under NAICS 335999, a business must not exceed the size standard associated with this code — typically measured by average annual receipts or employee count depending on the specific NAICS classification.
Prospective bidders must:
- Be registered and active in SAM.gov with current Entity Validation
- Have the DUNS/UEI and CAGE code information current in their profile
- Be eligible for federal contracting (no suspensions or debarments)
- Meet any additional DLA Aviation qualification requirements — see the solicitation
Manufacturers with experience producing MIL-SPEC electrical components and distributors capable of meeting DLA's sourcing and quality requirements should evaluate this opportunity. Prior DLA supplier history or familiarity with Federal Supply Classification 59 (electrical and electronic equipment components) is advantageous.
How to put together a competitive bid
Understand the technical requirements. Terminal junction blocks for DLA may need to meet specific military performance specifications (MIL-PRF or MIL-DTL standards). See the solicitation for exact part numbers, dimensional requirements, material specifications, and testing protocols. Request any referenced specifications through the DLA Document Services or ASSIST database if you lack access.
Confirm supply chain integrity. DLA emphasizes counterfeit avoidance for electrical components. Be prepared to demonstrate traceability to the original manufacturer, provide certificates of conformance, and comply with DFARS counterfeit prevention clauses.
Evaluate small business teaming. If you lack full manufacturing capability, consider teaming with a qualified small business manufacturer under a subcontractor relationship, ensuring you maintain prime contractor responsibility.
Pricing strategy. Research DLA's Electronic Catalog (ECAT) and historical procurement data in FPDS-NG or USAspending.gov for comparable terminal junction block awards. Account for packaging, marking, and shipping to DLA distribution centers — typically using Military Standard Requisitioning and Issue Procedures (MILSTRIP).
Quality systems. Verify your quality management system meets any cited requirements. DLA may reference ISO 9001, AS9100, or specific military quality standards. See the solicitation for mandatory certifications.
