How to bid on Circuit Card Assembly repair for the Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy needs repair services for seven circuit card assemblies. These specific assemblies are used in submarine propulsion systems. The repaired items will be delivered to DLA distribution centers in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, and Tracy, California.
While the Navy intends to award this as a sole-source contract to L3Harris Maritime Services, other capable firms are invited to submit information. This is an opportunity for businesses with relevant expertise to demonstrate their ability to meet the Navy's needs, potentially opening doors for future competitive procurements.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Request for Information (RFI) published on July 22, 2026. The deadline for submitting initial interest and capability statements is September 08, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. However, the government will consider all proposals received within 45 days after the publication date of this synopsis.
The formal solicitation (RFP) is expected to be issued around August 5, 2026, with responses due around September 3, 2026. The Navy anticipates making an award by September 18, 2026. Firms not already approved as a source must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR), but this process will not delay the current procurement.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is best suited for firms with expertise in the repair and modification of circuit card assemblies, particularly those with experience in defense or maritime technology. The relevant NAICS code is 334412 (Printed Circuit Assembly (PCA) Manufacturing) and the PSC is 5998 (Miscellaneous Communications Equipment).
Given the sole-source intent, this is particularly relevant for businesses that can demonstrate they are an equally capable or better source than the intended awardee, L3Harris Maritime Services. Firms that are Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) or have access to the necessary technical data for these specific components would be strong candidates.

Interested organizations should submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort via email to Taylor Weidman at [email protected]. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals, but your submission will be considered by the agency to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible.
Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is an RFI for a sole-source procurement, a strong capability statement is crucial. Clearly articulate your firm's experience with similar circuit card assembly repair, especially for submarine or defense applications. Highlight any certifications, specialized equipment, or technical expertise that directly relates to the repair of complex electronic components.
If your firm is not an approved source, prepare to submit a comprehensive Source Approval Request (SAR). While it won't delay this specific procurement, having an SAR on file can position your company for future opportunities. Ensure your submission addresses the specific NSN and part numbers mentioned, demonstrating a clear understanding of the Navy's requirement.
