What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation—Oklahoma City is soliciting offers for wiring harness, branched equipment. This falls under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 6150, which covers electrical cable, cord, and wire assemblies. Branched wiring harnesses are critical components in military aircraft and aerospace systems, serving as pre-configured bundles of wires with multiple connection points that distribute electrical power and signals throughout complex platforms.
NAICS 336413 refers to other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. Companies in this industry produce components and subassemblies used in aircraft construction, maintenance, and repair. Wiring harnesses for defense applications typically require rigorous quality standards, including traceability, harsh-environment durability, and compliance with military specifications such as MIL-W-81824 or SAE AS50881 standards that govern aerospace wiring practices.
