What the Navy is buying and why it matters

The Department of Defense, specifically the Navy, is seeking to repair one circuit card assembly. This component is part of a submarine atmosphere-control system. The repaired item needs to be delivered to DLA Distribution Norfolk, Virginia.

This is an opportunity for firms with specific capabilities in repairing complex electronic components, particularly those related to defense systems. The contract is expected to run for one year.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

This is a Request for Information (RFI) published on August 07, 2026. The deadline for submitting capability information is September 21, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET.

The government anticipates issuing the formal solicitation around August 21, 2026, with responses due around September 22, 2026. The award date is expected to be around October 8, 2026. If you are not an approved source, your request for approval will not delay the procurement process.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is primarily suited for firms with expertise in the repair of circuit card assemblies, specifically those with the ability to work on components for submarine atmosphere-control systems. The relevant NAICS code is 334412 (Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing) and the PSC is 5998 (Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components, Miscellaneous).

The Navy intends to use a sole-source process with Hamilton Sundstrand Corp. However, other firms may submit capability statements for consideration. If your firm is not an already approved source, you must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR).

Tips for preparing a competitive response

Even for an RFI that anticipates a sole-source award, a well-prepared capability statement can be valuable. Clearly articulate your firm's experience with similar circuit card assembly repairs, especially those involving complex defense or submarine systems. Highlight any certifications or specialized equipment relevant to this type of work.

If you are not an approved source, ensure your Source Approval Request (SAR) is comprehensive and addresses all necessary criteria. While the procurement will not wait for SAR approval, a strong SAR can position your firm for future opportunities. Pay close attention to any Buy American Clauses and UID requirements mentioned, as these will apply to the eventual solicitation.
