What the government is buying

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime Mechanicsburg is soliciting bids for electronic counters. This falls under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 6625, which covers electrical and electronic properties measuring and testing instruments. Electronic counters are devices used to count pulses, events, or cycles in electronic systems—common applications include frequency measurement, time interval measurement, and radiation detection in military and maritime settings.

Given DLA Maritime's role supporting Navy and Marine Corps operations, these counters likely relate to shipboard electronics maintenance, calibration laboratories, or depot-level repair facilities. The specific model, quantity, and technical requirements are not specified in the available metadata; see the solicitation.

Key facts

NAICS 334412 refers to "Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing," though in federal procurement this code sometimes appears on solicitations for related electronic measurement equipment when the primary activity involves circuit-based devices. DLA may use this NAICS based on the manufacturing process or supply chain classification for the item.

Who can bid

This is a full and open solicitation with no set-aside, meaning any responsible offeror—large or small business—may submit a bid. Small-business participation is not restricted or given preference, so small businesses will compete directly against larger defense contractors and original equipment manufacturers.

To bid, your firm must:

• Be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) with active registration through the contract performance period
• Have any required National Stock Number (NSN) experience or military specifications (MIL-SPEC) familiarity relevant to FSC 6625 items
• Meet DLA's supplier quality and delivery performance standards, which are strictly enforced for maritime-critical spare parts

How to put together a competitive bid

Research the NSN and technical package. Use DLA's FedMall or WebFLIS to identify the exact national stock number associated with this solicitation. Electronic counters under FSC 6625 have precise military specifications; obtain the full technical data package through the solicitation to verify acceptability of commercial equivalents.

Emphasize supply chain reliability. DLA Maritime prioritizes on-time delivery for shipboard readiness. Document your sourcing strategy for specialized components, lead times for obsolete parts, and any Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) mitigation capabilities.

Price strategically for full competition. Without a set-aside, you're likely competing against established electronic component distributors. Analyze historical DLA pricing for similar NSNs in the FPDS-NG database. Consider whether you can offer vendor-managed inventory, long-term pricing agreements, or ILS (Integrated Logistics Support) data that larger competitors may not match nimbly.

Verify your CAGE code and DFARS compliance. Ensure your SAM registration reflects accurate manufacturing or distributor codes. Review applicable DFARS clauses in the solicitation for counterfeit parts prevention (DFARS 252.246-7007) and country of origin restrictions if components are sourced internationally.
