How to bid on Circuit Card Assembly repair for the Department of the Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy needs to repair specific circuit card assemblies, part number 600-42005. These are critical components for aircraft and engineering/diesel systems. The Navy currently plans to award this work to L3Harris, the original manufacturer, because they do not have the technical data needed to allow other companies to produce or repair these parts.
However, this is an opportunity for other qualified small businesses to show they can meet this requirement. If you can repair these specific circuit card assemblies, the Navy wants to hear from you. This is an emergency acquisition, indicating an urgent need for these repairs.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Request for Information (RFI) published on July 10, 2026. The deadline to submit your capabilities and qualifications is August 24, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. While the Navy intends to sole-source this, they will consider all proposals received within 45 days of the publication date.
The actual solicitation (RFP) is expected to be issued around July 24, 2026, with an anticipated response/closing date of August 24, 2026. The anticipated award date for the contract is September 8, 2026. The contract duration will be one year, with options.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is for businesses with expertise in the repair or modification of circuit card assemblies, specifically part number 600-42005. The relevant NAICS code is 334412 (Printed Circuit Assembly (PCA) Manufacturing) and the PSC is 5998 (Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components).
If your firm is not already an approved source for this material, you must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR). However, the procurement will not be delayed for SAR approval, so demonstrating existing capability is key.
How to respond to this RFI
To respond, you need to submit your capabilities and qualifications to the contracting officer, Jessica Grzywna, via email at [email protected]. Your submission should clearly identify your interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement.
The full solicitation, when issued, will be posted to NECO. No telephone requests will be honored, and no hard copies will be mailed out. Electronic procedures will be used for the solicitation.
Practical tips for a competitive response
When preparing your capability statement, focus on demonstrating your direct experience and technical ability to repair circuit card assembly 600-42005. Since the government lacks data, highlight any proprietary knowledge, specialized equipment, or unique processes you possess that enable you to perform this specific repair.
Clearly articulate how your firm can meet the urgent requirement for this emergency acquisition. Provide concrete examples of past performance on similar projects, especially those involving complex electronic component repair or reverse engineering capabilities. Emphasize your quality control processes and ability to deliver within tight timelines. Ensure your submission addresses the Buy American Clauses and UID requirements that will apply.
