DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.DLA MARITIME.DLA MARITIME MECHANICSBURG.SPRMM1 DLA MECHANICSBURG · Response deadline: Mon, 16 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Mechanicburg is soliciting offers for circuit card assemblies. This falls under NAICS code 334412—Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing—though the work may also involve assembly and integration activities related to printed circuit boards. Circuit card assemblies are essential components in military electronics systems, ranging from communication equipment to navigation and weapons systems. These assemblies typically include populated printed circuit boards with electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, integrated circuits, and connectors mounted and soldered to the board.
Without additional details in the metadata, specific quantities, technical specifications, delivery schedules, and intended end-use systems are not available—see the solicitation for complete requirements.

Who can bid
This procurement is full and open competition with no set-aside program designated. Any qualified business, including small and large businesses, may submit an offer. However, small businesses in the electronics manufacturing sector should evaluate whether they can meet DLA's typical requirements for:
- Quality management systems (often AS9100 or ISO 9001 for defense work)
- ITAR registration if defense articles are involved
- Trusted supplier programs or additional certifications DLA may require
- Domestic sourcing requirements under the Buy American Act or Berry Amendment, depending on materials and components
Small businesses should verify their size standard under NAICS 334412 (typically 500 employees) and confirm active registration in SAM.gov with appropriate NAICS codes.
How to put together a competitive bid
For circuit card assembly work, focus your proposal on demonstrating manufacturing capability and reliability:
Technical proposal: Detail your printed circuit board assembly processes, including surface-mount technology (SMT) and through-hole capabilities, inspection protocols (AOI, X-ray), and testing procedures (functional test, in-circuit test). Specify your experience with military-grade or high-reliability assemblies.
Quality and certifications: Highlight AS9100, ISO 9001, or IPC-A-610 certification status. If you lack these, identify qualification pathways and timelines. DLA typically requires rigorous quality assurance for electronic components.
Supply chain and obsolescence management: Address how you manage component sourcing, counterfeit avoidance programs, and lifecycle management for long-dated military contracts.
Pricing strategy: Full and open competition means pricing against both small and large businesses. Analyze your cost structure carefully; larger competitors may have volume advantages, but small businesses can compete on specialized capabilities, responsiveness, and lower overhead.
Past performance: Document relevant contract history, especially with DLA, other defense agencies, or commercial electronics customers with comparable quality requirements.
