What the government is buying

The U.S. Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapons Systems Support activity in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania is soliciting bids for circuit card assemblies under solicitation number N0010426QZB77. The broad category classification (5998) and NAICS code 334412 place this in the printed circuit board manufacturing sector.

Circuit card assemblies are essential electronic components used throughout military systems—combining printed circuit boards with mounted electronic components such as integrated circuits, resistors, capacitors, and connectors. NAVSUP WSS is the Navy's primary provider of logistics support for weapons systems, managing spare parts and repair components for naval aviation, surface, and submarine platforms. These assemblies likely support sustainment of existing weapon systems rather than new development.

For specific technical requirements, quantities, delivery schedules, and approved sources—see the solicitation.

Key facts

Who can bid

This is an unrestricted solicitation with no set-aside designation, meaning any responsible offeror—large or small business—may submit a bid. That said, NAICS 334412 has a Small Business Administration size standard of 1,000 employees, so businesses at or below this threshold qualify as small for this procurement.

Eligible bidders should consider:

• Registration in SAM.gov (active and current)
• Relevant defense contracting experience, particularly in electronics manufacturing with military specifications
• ITAR/EAR compliance for defense-related electronics
• Quality certifications commonly required for military circuit card production (see the solicitation for specific requirements)

Firms with experience in MIL-STD-883, MIL-PRF-38534, or J-STD-001 soldered electronic assemblies will have relevant technical backgrounds.

How to put together a competitive bid

Given the unrestricted nature and specialized electronics focus:

For small businesses competing against larger firms:

• Emphasize agility and direct customer access— NAVSUP WSS values responsive repair and short lead times for obsolescent components
• Highlight any source control drawings (SCDs) or technical data packages you already hold for Navy circuit card designs
• Consider teaming arrangements or subcontracting to fill capability gaps, but disclose relationships transparently

Technical and pricing preparation:

• Obtain the full technical data package from the solicitation to verify your build-to-print capability
• Review DLA Land and Maritime or NAVICP Erie historical procurement data for similar circuit cards to benchmark pricing
• Confirm your obsolescence management strategy—NAVSUP WSS frequently procures legacy components no longer manufactured commercially
• Validate test capability requirements; circuit card assemblies typically require functional testing and environmental screening

Proposal documentation:

• Address past performance with specific Navy or defense circuit card delivery references
• Include your supply chain traceability procedures for counterfeit avoidance (DFARS 252.246-7007 typically applies)
