What the government is buying
This solicitation is for a temperature alarm module—an electronic component used to monitor and alert when temperatures exceed or fall below specified thresholds. Temperature alarm modules are critical for maintaining operational safety and equipment integrity across Navy platforms. They are commonly employed in weapons systems, propulsion equipment, environmental controls, and other mission-critical applications where thermal management directly affects performance and reliability.
Under NAICS code 334412, this falls under the Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing industry classification, though the actual scope may involve broader electronic assembly work. Temperature alarm modules typically integrate sensors, circuitry, and alarm signaling mechanisms into a functional unit.
The Defense Logistics Agency's Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), specifically the Weapon Systems Support activity in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, is managing this procurement. NAVSUP WSS serves as the Navy's primary provider of weapon systems support, managing spare parts and components for surface ships, submarines, and aviation assets.

Who can bid
This procurement is full and open competition with no small business set-aside. All responsible sources—large and small businesses alike—may submit offers.
Small businesses can still compete, but they will face competition from established defense contractors and electronics manufacturers. To be competitive, bidders should:
- Be registered in SAM.gov with active registration valid through award period
- Hold any required security clearances if the end-use system is classified (see the solicitation)
- Demonstrate experience with military-specification (MIL-SPEC) components or comparable quality standards
- Have DFARS compliance capabilities for defense procurement regulations
Firms with previous NAVSUP WSS experience, particularly with obsolete or hard-to-find electronic components, may have relevant performance history to cite.
How to put together a competitive bid
For temperature alarm module procurement, bidders should focus on:
Technical compliance: Obtain and review the technical data package thoroughly. Military temperature alarm modules often must meet specific MIL-STD or MIL-PRF requirements for temperature range, shock, vibration, and electromagnetic interference. Verify whether this is a form-fit-function replacement for an existing part or requires reverse-engineering.
Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) expertise: NAVSUP WSS frequently solicits components where original manufacturers no longer produce the item. If this is a DMS case, document your technical data acquisition, qualification testing capabilities, and previous success with similar obsolescence challenges.
Quality certification: ISO 9001 or AS9100 certification strengthens credibility. If the item is for aviation applications, AS9100 and NADCAP accreditation may be particularly relevant (see the solicitation for specific QPL/QML requirements).
Pricing strategy: Full and open competition typically drives price sensitivity. Research historical pricing through FPDS or previous awards for similar NSNs if available. Consider whether cost/price data submission is required.
Past performance: Include relevant contracts for military electronics, particularly with Navy or DLA customers. Highlight on-time delivery and quality metrics.
Next steps
Access and download the full solicitation package on SAM.gov using solicitation number N0010427QBB99. Review all specifications, drawings, delivery requirements, and evaluation criteria carefully—critical details about quantity, packaging, inspection requirements, and any qualification testing are contained in the solicitation documents, not this notice metadata.
Note the firm deadline of November 30, 2026, at 4:30 PM Eastern Time. Allow adequate time for proposal preparation, particularly if technical data review or subcontractor coordination is needed. Submit questions through the channels specified in the solicitation well before any question deadline to ensure responses inform your proposal.
