CIRCUIT CARD ASSY
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE NAVY.NAVSUP.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT.NAVSUP WSS MECHANICSBURG.NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT MECH · Response deadline: Fri, 23 Oct 2026
What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy is soliciting bids for circuit card assemblies through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mechanicsburg. Circuit card assemblies (CCAs) are printed circuit boards populated with electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, integrated circuits, and connectors. These assemblies are used in military weapon systems, communications equipment, navigation systems, and various electronic platforms across Navy operations.
The Navy typically procures CCAs for repair, maintenance, and sustainment of legacy weapon systems where original manufacturers may no longer produce the parts. This type of procurement often supports shipboard and aviation electronic systems that require specialized manufacturing capabilities and adherence to military specifications.

Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open competition with no set-aside restriction. Any responsible offeror meeting the solicitation's technical and qualifications requirements may bid, including:
- Small businesses of any type
- Large businesses
- Women-owned small businesses (WOSB)
- Service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB)
- Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) small businesses

Bidders should note that NAICS 334412 carries a Small Business Administration size standard based on number of employees (typically 500 employees for manufacturing). Small businesses should verify their size status in SAM.gov before bidding if they intend to claim small business status. Given the Navy weapon systems application, bidders likely need appropriate security clearances, ITAR registration, and experience with military quality standards such as MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-202, or IPC-A-610 for electronics assembly.
How to put together a competitive bid
Verify technical capabilities: Circuit card assembly for military applications requires specialized equipment for surface-mount and through-hole technology, automated optical inspection, and environmental testing capabilities. Assess whether your facility can meet the likely requirements for Class 3 (high-performance/high-reliability) IPC standards.
Review qualification requirements: Navy electronics procurements typically require bidders to demonstrate past performance with defense contracts, quality management system certification (AS9100 or ISO 9001), and possibly J-STD-001 solder certification. See the solicitation for specific requirements.
Understand the supply chain: Military CCAs often require components with specific defense-grade specifications, obsolescence management, and counterfeit avoidance protocols per DFARS 252.246-7007. Evaluate your component sourcing strategy and long-term material availability.
Pricing strategy: Full and open competition means competing against large, established defense contractors with significant overhead structures. Small businesses should emphasize agility, specialized expertise, and competitive pricing on engineering and manufacturing labor.
Propose value-added services: Consider offering lifecycle sustainment support, repair capabilities, or rapid prototyping services that differentiate your proposal beyond unit price.
