Optoelectronic Devices And Associated Hardware

PSC Category 5980-P encompasses optoelectronic devices and associated hardware, which are specialized electronic components that convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa. These devices include light-emitting diodes (LEDs), displays, control panels, semiconductor devices, and other electronic components critical to military, aerospace, and research applications. The category covers a wide range of technological products that are essential for advanced sensing, communication, and monitoring systems across various defense and scientific platforms.

Federal Contract Awards in this PSC category demonstrate substantial procurement activity primarily by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Naval Supply Systems Command, and Naval Research Laboratory. Contract values range from several hundred dollars to over $600,000, with most awards being firm-fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders. Frequently awarded entities include Wamco, Inc., Milcots LLC, Northrop Grumman, L3Harris Technologies, and Tobii Dynavox. Many awards are set aside for small businesses, including service-disabled veteran-owned, woman-owned, and economically disadvantaged small businesses. Performance locations are predominantly within the United States, with a strong concentration in naval and military research and logistics facilities.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities in this PSC category reflect requirements from multiple federal agencies, including the Department of the Navy, Coast Guard, and NOAA. Solicitations seek specialized optoelectronic components such as rugged flat panel displays, LCD control panels, hyperspectral sensors, data acquisition systems, and various electronic interfaces. Many opportunities are designated as small business set-asides, with typical NAICS codes including 334413 (Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing) and 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing). The opportunities demonstrate a consistent need for precise, technically sophisticated electronic components to support military readiness, scientific research, and technological innovation across federal agencies.
