China Lake Electronic Components

The China Lake Electronic Components Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a master vehicle awarded by the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) for procuring electronic components and related equipment. Originally established as a total small business set-aside, the contract supports the research, development, test, evaluation, and engineering efforts of naval aviation platforms and weapons systems. The contract vehicle enables the Naval Air Systems Command to acquire a wide range of electronic components, instrumentation, digital information technology equipment, and test equipment through multiple prime contractors.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a focus on specialized electronic components, with values typically ranging from $25,000 to $280,000 and completion periods of three to twelve months. Prime contractors include Laguna Components (a minority-owned small business), Pacific IC Source (a woman-owned small business), Bahfed Corp (a HUBZone certified small business), and Impact Components, all delivering items such as connectors, circuit boards, microcontrollers, sensors, development kits, and test equipment. While the original solicitation specified a total small business set-aside, recent task orders have not maintained a set-aside designation. Performance locations are primarily in California, including Laguna Beach, Oak Glen, and Portland, with delivery destinations supporting various Naval Air Systems Command facilities. The contract supports the Naval Air Warfare Center's critical mission of developing and maintaining advanced electronic systems for naval aviation technologies.
