Semiconductor Devices And Associated Hardware

Product Service Code (PSC) 5961 encompasses semiconductor devices and associated hardware, which are critical electronic components used in various technological applications across defense, aerospace, research, and commercial sectors. These devices include transistors, diodes, integrated circuits, and other electronic microcircuits that serve as fundamental building blocks for complex electronic systems. The semiconductor devices support critical infrastructure such as communications systems, navigation aids, power management, and advanced research instrumentation.

The federal contract awards under PSC 5961 demonstrate a robust market for semiconductor devices, with most contracts issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime and the Naval Supply Systems Command. Awards typically range from $2,000 to $250,000, with contract durations spanning 3-12 months. Frequently awarded entities include small businesses like Resion LLC, Avnet Inc., Falcon Electronics, and Semiconductor Logistics Corp. Many awards are not set aside, though some utilize total small business set-asides. Common places of performance include facilities in California, Missouri, New Hampshire, and New York, with delivery destinations primarily at military depots and research facilities.

Recent federal contract opportunities for PSC 5961 primarily focus on procuring specialized semiconductor devices, detection systems, and related equipment. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has solicited opportunities for advanced laser systems, UV detection equipment, and semiconductor processing tools. The Department of Defense has posted requirements for specific semiconductor devices, rectifiers, and electronic components. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses and target highly specialized electronic components used in research, defense systems, and technological development. Typical places of performance include research laboratories in Maryland, Ohio, and Massachusetts, with agencies like NASA, NIST, and various military research commands driving these procurement efforts.
