DLA Maritime electronics buys: subassemblies, circuit card assemblies, power supplies, and an electronic maintenance kit (Feb 2026)

Executive takeaway

DLA Maritime has multiple open buys for electronics-related items (computer subassemblies, circuit card assemblies, power supplies, and a maintenance kit). Across the set, the common themes are Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) award, limited/no drawings or technical data, and clear expectations around inspection/acceptance, Item Unique Identification (IUID), and WAWF (Wide Area Workflow) invoicing. One of the subassembly buys also calls out a higher-level contract quality requirement (ISO 9001) and higher level inspection, and at least one circuit card assembly buy specifies FOB source, inspection/acceptance at source, and MIL-STD-2073 packaging.

What the buyer is trying to do

The buyer is sourcing specific, identifiable electronic items through DLA Maritime with evaluation driven by LPTA (where stated). Because drawings/technical data are not available (repeatedly stated), the government is effectively relying on OEM identification (CAGE + part number), supply-chain integrity requirements (including Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act prohibitions), and inspection/packaging compliance to ensure the delivered items meet need.

• CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMB (SPRMM126QRA43) — response deadline 2026-02-26 20:30 UTC

What work is implied (bullets)

• Quote preparation under LPTA (explicitly stated on several notices): ensure every mandatory requirement is met, with minimal “nice-to-have” narrative that doesn’t improve acceptability.
• OEM/source identification if you are not the manufacturer: provide the OEM’s CAGE and the part number being offered (repeatedly called out).
• Operate without drawings/technical data: multiple notices state drawings/technical data are not available, so compliance will hinge on correct item identification and meeting packaging/inspection clauses.
• Inspection and acceptance compliance:
  • “Inspection of supplies—fixed-price” and “Inspection and acceptance” clauses appear across these buys.
  • One circuit card assembly buy explicitly requires inspection and acceptance at source and FOB source.
  • The computer subassembly buy notes higher level inspection and a higher-level quality requirement (ISO 9001).
• IUID (Item Unique Identification) and valuation compliance (clause cited on multiple notices).
• WAWF payment/invoicing setup: the notices include WAWF payment instructions, often indicating an invoice and receiving report combo with details shown as TBD.
• Supply chain/security compliance: the “Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act orders—prohibition” clause appears across these solicitations.
• Packaging discipline:
  • One circuit card assembly buy explicitly requires MIL-STD-2073 military standard packaging.
• Surplus controls (where applicable): one circuit card assembly notice warns that surplus/new surplus/new manufactured surplus quotes require a surplus material certificate or the quote will be null and void.
• Communications/EDI discipline: if quoting via EDI, ensure exceptions are clearly stated; otherwise award may be based strictly on solicitation requirements with post-award changes penalized (stated across multiple notices).

Who should bid / who should pass (bullets)

Who should bid

• OEMs and authorized sources for the specific part numbers (or distributors who can clearly identify OEM CAGE + part number and meet all clauses).
• Electronics suppliers with strong inspection/QA processes—especially if you can support ISO 9001 expectations and higher-level inspection where required.
• Firms already fluent in WAWF, IUID, and defense packaging/inspection workflows.
• Vendors comfortable with no technical data available scenarios (i.e., you win by exact item match, documentation, and clean compliance).

Who should pass

• Firms that cannot reliably provide OEM identification (CAGE + part number) when not manufacturing the item.
• Teams that need drawings/technical data to estimate or manufacture—these notices repeatedly say they are not available.
• Any supplier planning to offer refurbished material where it is explicitly not acceptable (called out on one circuit card assembly notice).
• Surplus-oriented bidders that cannot produce a surplus certificate when required.

Response package checklist (bullets; if unknown say “verify in attachments”)

• Completed quote aligned to the solicitation number (verify in attachments for exact format).
• Offer validity period (the templates include “Offer valid for ___ days”).
• Delivery days (templates include “Delivery days ___ ARO”).
• OEM identification if not the manufacturer: OEM name, CAGE, and part number offered.
• Any exceptions clearly stated (especially if quoting via EDI), covering items like mil specs/standards, packaging, and inspection & acceptance.
• Quality/inspection evidence where relevant (e.g., ability to meet ISO 9001 higher-level contract quality requirement for the computer subassembly buy—verify documentation expectations in attachments).
• IUID compliance approach (verify marking/data requirements in attachments).
• WAWF invoicing readiness (invoice/receiving report combo is referenced; specific routing fields often show as TBD in the snippet—verify in attachments).
• Packaging plan, including MIL-STD-2073 where stated (verify level details in attachments).
• Surplus material certificate if offering surplus/new surplus/new manufactured surplus on the relevant circuit card assembly requirement.

Pricing & strategy notes (how to research pricing; do not invent pricing numbers)

Because award is LPTA on several of these buys, price is decisive after you clear technical acceptability. Your pricing work should focus on making sure your supply chain and compliance costs are fully captured, then sharpening the unit price without introducing risk.

• Benchmark against your own history: pull prior sells for the same OEM part number(s) and similar DLA Maritime items (if you have them).
• Model compliance costs explicitly: include the labor/time for inspection at source (where required), IUID processes, MIL-STD-2073 packaging (where required), and WAWF admin.
• Don’t underprice avoidable risk: “no drawings/technical data available” means rework is rarely defensible—build your quote around a supply source you trust.
• Consider option language: one power supply notice includes an “Option for Increased Quantity (MAR 1989)” with “365 days.” If you bid, confirm how that affects your supply plan and whether your pricing needs a separate option CLIN/line item (verify in attachments).

Subcontracting / teaming ideas (bullets)

• Authorized distributor + packaging/QA specialist: pair a source with manufacturer authorization with a partner experienced in MIL-STD-2073 packaging and government inspection workflows.
• IUID marking support: if your internal process is light, team with a marking/serialization provider to ensure IUID compliance is operationally clean (verify exact IUID expectations in attachments).
• EDI/WAWF admin support: for smaller shops, a back-office partner that routinely handles WAWF and related invoice/receiving report combos can reduce submission errors.

Risks & watch-outs (bullets)

• No drawings/technical data: you may have limited ability to argue equivalency—be precise on OEM CAGE + part number alignment.
• Higher-level inspection / ISO 9001: at least one buy indicates higher-level inspection and an ISO 9001 quality requirement; confirm your documentation and process can withstand scrutiny.
• FOB source + acceptance at source: where required, this can add coordination effort and timing risk—plan accordingly.
• MIL-STD-2073 packaging: if you don’t routinely do military packaging, mistakes can cause rejection or delays.
• Surplus certificate requirement: on the relevant circuit card assembly notice, submitting a quote without the certificate is explicitly disqualifying for surplus/new surplus/new manufactured surplus offers.
• Post-award changes can be costly: the notices warn that changes/requests for changes after award can result in consideration costs being deducted on modifications.
• Supply chain security prohibitions: the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act prohibition clause appears across the buys—ensure your sourcing is clean and documentable.

How to act on this

1. Open each BidPulsar notice page and pull the full solicitation/attachments; confirm delivery, packaging, inspection/acceptance, and IUID details.
2. Lock your source: confirm OEM CAGE + part number and whether you’re bidding as manufacturer or non-manufacturer.
3. Build a compliance-first quote package (WAWF/IUID/packaging/inspection), then sharpen pricing for LPTA.
4. Submit early enough to resolve any EDI/format issues and to ensure any required certificates are included.
