MODULE ASSEMBLY,RIM
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.DLA MARITIME.DLA MARITIME MECHANICSBURG.SPRMM1 DLA MECHANICSBURG · Response deadline: Fri, 12 Feb 2027
What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime Mechanicsburg is soliciting bids for a module assembly related to rims. This falls within the broader category of electronic and electrical equipment manufacturing, specifically for defense supply chain purposes. DLA Maritime supports Navy and Marine Corps readiness by providing logistics solutions for mechanical and electrical components used in naval vessels and systems. "Module assembly, rim" suggests manufactured subcomponents that integrate into larger wheel or structural rim assemblies—common in military vehicle, aircraft, or shipboard applications where standardized modular parts enable faster field maintenance and replacement.
NAICS 334412 covers bare printed circuit board manufacturing, though DLA procurement classifications sometimes use NAICS codes that reflect the manufacturing process rather than the end application. The classification code 5998 (miscellaneous electrical and electronic components) aligns with this as a spare parts acquisition. See the solicitation for exact technical specifications, drawings, and intended end-use systems.

Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open competition with no small-business set-aside. Any responsible offeror—large or small business—may submit a bid. Small businesses compete directly against prime contractors and other entities with DLA supply experience.
To bid, you need:
- Active SAM.gov registration (valid through contract performance period)
- CAGE code assigned to your physical facility
- Compliance with DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) provisions
- Capability to meet any ITAR/EAR requirements if the rim assembly involves controlled technical data
Small manufacturers with printed circuit board or electromechanical assembly capabilities should evaluate whether their facility certifications (ISO 9001, AS9100, or MIL-PRF-31032 if applicable) match DLA quality expectations. See the solicitation for specific qualification requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
Review the technical package thoroughly. DLA solicitations typically include drawings, specifications, and approved sources list. For module assemblies, verify whether you're bidding as a manufacturer or distributor—DLA often requires original manufacturer certification or explicit approval for alternate sources.
Analyze the requirements list against your capacity. Check lead times for raw materials (laminates, copper, specialized rim materials), especially given 2026-2027 supply chain conditions for defense-grade components. DLA awards frequently favor deliverability and past performance over lowest price alone.
Understand DLA's ordering mechanism. This likely uses a requirements-type contract or museum stock replenishment vehicle with indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity features. Examine minimum/maximum order clauses, surge requirements, and geographic distribution obligations.
Price strategically. DLA uses automated quotation systems for many spare parts; confirm whether this requires submission through DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) or direct SAM.gov upload. Factor in Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) electronic invoicing costs and Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) visibility—poor delivery performance affects future DLA scoring.
Address small-business subcontracting if applicable. Though not set-aside for small business, large prime bidders must submit subcontracting plans; small businesses can position as subcontractors to primes tracking toward this requirement.
Next steps
