Resistors

Product Service Code (PSC) 5905 is dedicated to resistors, which are fundamental electronic components used to control electrical current in various systems and devices. These resistors come in multiple types, including fixed, variable, wire-wound, chip, thermal, and network configurations. They serve critical functions across aerospace, military, defense, and industrial applications, often supporting complex electronic systems that require precise electrical resistance and performance characteristics.

The federal contract awards for PSC 5905 primarily involve the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation, with most awards being firm fixed-price purchase orders ranging from under $100 to around $90,000. Frequent contractors include TTI Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary, Pioneer Industries, Temp-Pro Incorporated, and other small businesses. While most awards are not set aside, a few are designated for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, or women-owned small businesses. The contracts typically have completion dates within 6-12 months and support various military and government logistics operations, with performance locations primarily in the continental United States.

The federal contract opportunities for PSC 5905 are predominantly from the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, seeking specialized resistors for specific military and aerospace applications. These opportunities often require detailed technical specifications, compliance with military standards like MIL-STD-130, and sometimes involve sole-source procurement due to technical complexity. The solicitations frequently request small quantities of highly specialized resistors, with quantities ranging from 1 to 104 units. Many opportunities emphasize the need for precise manufacturing, quality assurance, and adherence to specific technical data packages, indicating these are critical components for military systems.
