NAICS 334412 snapshot: Navy & DLA electronics buys centered on circuit card assemblies (CCA) and test equipment

Executive takeaway

This set of opportunities is heavily concentrated in NAICS 334412 (electronics manufacturing context) with a clear throughline: circuit card assemblies (PSC 5998) dominate, with a smaller set of test/measurement-related items (PSC 6625). Several notices explicitly state that drawings/technical data are not available, which shifts “responsiveness” away from engineering narratives and toward clean sourcing, exact part identification, packaging/inspection compliance, and fast, accurate quoting. One DLA notice calls out LPTA, reinforcing that technical acceptability and documentation discipline will matter as much as price.

What the buyer is trying to do

Across DLA Maritime (Mechanicsburg) and NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (Mechanicsburg), the buyer is moving to:

• Procure circuit card assemblies where technical data may be unavailable and the cited part/part number is treated as fully descriptive.
• Place repair purchase orders for electronics items (including CCAs), using firm-fixed-price (FFP) structures and language indicating repair award remarks and timing constraints.
• Buy defined commercial items (e.g., an Omega conductivity cell) with manufacturer/part-number-driven requirements.
• Maintain invoicing/receiving discipline through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) payment instructions and related receiving report configurations.

What work is implied (bullets)

• Quote preparation for CCA supply actions under DLA Maritime, including acknowledging that no drawings/technical data are available and ensuring your offer conforms to solicitation requirements.
• Repair/repair-modification quoting for NAVSUP WSS actions that describe FFP repair purchase orders and request FFP or NTE pricing for “full repair” (as stated in one notice snippet).
• Provenance documentation (e.g., identifying the OEM/CAGE and the offered part number when you are not the manufacturer, as explicitly requested in a DLA solicitation note).
• Packaging and inspection readiness, including cases where FOB source, inspection and acceptance at source, and MIL-STD 2073 military standard packaging are required.
• WAWF invoicing setup aligned to the specified invoice/receiving report type (COMBO vs stand-alone receiving report, etc.).
• Compliance with procurement clauses that appear repeatedly in the snippets, including Item Unique Identification and Valuation (JAN 2023) and Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act orders—prohibition (in at least one DLA notice).
• Optional/conditional data submittals for repair work—one NAVSUP WSS repair notice indicates certain inspection/test plan data items may be waived if already on file (verify details in the actual solicitation/attachments).

Who should bid / who should pass (bullets)

Who should bid

• Manufacturers, authorized distributors, or highly disciplined brokers who can state OEM/CAGE and part number clearly and stand behind conformance when technical data are not available.
• Electronics repair providers comfortable with FFP repair purchase orders and the operational constraints hinted at in award remark language (e.g., turnaround/throughput constraints—confirm in full text).
• Suppliers with packaging/QA infrastructure for military customers, especially where inspection/acceptance at source and MIL-STD 2073 packaging are required.
• Vendors already set up for WAWF invoicing and DoD receiving report workflows.

Who should pass

• Firms that rely on government-furnished drawings/tech data to bid—multiple notices state no drawings or technical data are available.
• Teams unable to support source inspection/acceptance or military packaging where required.
• Resellers who cannot provide the requested OEM identification (including CAGE) and part number when not the manufacturer.
• Repair shops that cannot tolerate strict documentation and workflow controls (UII language, WAWF, and repair PO constraints show up repeatedly).

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

• Completed quote responding to the solicitation number and line items (verify format in attachments).
• Pricing type confirmation (FFP; and where requested, whether NTE is allowed/required—verify in attachments).
• Offer validity period (some notices prompt you to specify the number of days pricing is valid; if not specified, a 60-day default is mentioned in at least one NAVSUP WSS snippet—verify per notice).
• Delivery/lead time or “delivery days” entry where the solicitation leaves blanks (verify in attachments).
• OEM identification (OEM name, CAGE, and offered part number) if you are not the manufacturer (explicitly requested in a DLA note).
• Compliance acknowledgements for clauses called out in the snippet (e.g., UII/valuation, inspection clauses, supply chain security prohibition where applicable—verify full clause list in attachments).
• Packaging and I&A approach confirming required elements such as MIL-STD 2073 packaging and inspection/acceptance at source when stated (verify in attachments).
• WAWF invoicing setup confirmation aligned to the specified invoice/receiving report instruction (verify in attachments).
• If repair-related: any required inspection and test plan data items, noting the snippet states some may be waived if already on file (verify in attachments and current file status with buyer systems).

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

Pricing strategy should be grounded in the buyer’s repeated signals: limited technical data, compliance-heavy fulfillment, and (in at least one DLA notice) LPTA evaluation. Practical moves:

• Benchmark recent buys for the same NIIN/part number (where available) and compare DLA vs NAVSUP WSS behavior; expect tighter price pressure where LPTA is explicitly stated.
• Separate material risk from compliance cost: MIL-STD packaging, source inspection/acceptance, and documentation can dominate margin if not estimated explicitly.
• For repair quotes, build your estimate around a defensible “full repair” scope as described, then validate whether the solicitation expects FFP or allows NTE quoting for unknown conditions (one notice explicitly asks for FFP or NTE—confirm applicability in your specific package).
• Minimize exceptions: one DLA notice warns that if exceptions are not indicated, award will be based on solicitation requirements, and later changes can be costed against you via modifications.
• Account for provenance constraints: where refurbished material is stated as not acceptable, or surplus certificates are required for surplus offerings, incorporate sourcing time and documentation burden.

Subcontracting / teaming ideas (bullets)

• Pair a repair depot with a compliance-focused packaging house that can execute MIL-STD 2073 and coordinate inspection/acceptance at source when required.
• Team with an authorized distributor/OEM channel partner to strengthen OEM/CAGE/part-number substantiation where technical data are unavailable.
• Use a specialized WAWF/DoD invoicing back office support partner if your accounting team is not already fluent in COMBO vs stand-alone receiving report workflows.
• For CCA supply buys, consider a test/verification subcontractor if you need independent acceptance testing aligned to “inspection and acceptance” clauses (verify requirements in attachments).

Risks & watch-outs (bullets)

• No technical data/drawings is repeatedly stated—your risk is misidentification. Ensure the part number cited is fully descriptive for what you are delivering/repairing.
• LPTA pressure (explicitly stated in one DLA notice) can turn the competition into a documentation-and-lead-time race as much as a price contest.
• Source requirements: at least one DLA notice requires FOB source and inspection/acceptance at source; missing this capability is a common disqualifier.
• Military packaging: MIL-STD 2073 is stated as required in one notice; underestimating packaging labor/materials erodes margin.
• Material condition restrictions: one notice states refurbished material is not acceptable; another references surplus certificate needs (if quoting surplus/new surplus/new manufactured surplus).
• Supply chain security language appears (e.g., prohibition tied to Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act orders in a DLA snippet)—confirm your supply chain and any covered equipment/manufacturers are compliant.
• Repair admin constraints: one NAVSUP WSS notice references pre-populated award remarks (RTAT/throughput/induction expiration concepts). Treat these as schedule and workflow constraints you must be able to manage (verify details in the solicitation).
• Very short turnaround on at least one opportunity (one NAVSUP WSS notice shows a same-day response deadline). If you can’t react quickly, focus on the later-closing notices.

How to act on this

1. Pick your lane: CCA supply (DLA), CCA repair (NAVSUP WSS), or niche test/measurement items (PSC 6625).
2. Open the solicitation package and confirm packaging/I&A terms, any data item requirements, and whether exceptions are allowed (where unclear, verify in attachments).
3. Validate sourcing: confirm OEM/CAGE/part number traceability (and surplus certificate needs if relevant) before you commit to lead time and price.
4. Build a compliant quote aligned to WAWF instructions and any stated evaluation approach (including LPTA where cited).
