Shipboard Alarm And Signal Systems

The Product Service Code (PSC) 6320 covers Shipboard Alarm and Signal Systems, which are critical electronic components used in naval and maritime vessels. These systems include switchboards, alarm panels, indicators, transmitters, and sensors designed to monitor and communicate critical operational parameters. The components are typically specialized electronic devices that provide vital information about ship systems, engine performance, navigation, and safety conditions.

Federal Contract Awards under PSC 6320 demonstrate a consistent pattern of procurement by defense agencies, particularly the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and Naval Supply Systems Command. The awards range from approximately $1,200 to $497,700, with most contracts being firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders. Frequently awarded entities include Dynalec Corporation, Integrated Procurement Technologies (IPT), Ruta Supplies Inc., and Kampi Components Co Inc. The majority of awards are not set aside for small businesses, though some total small business set-asides do occur. Most contracts have performance periods between 6-18 months, with delivery locations primarily in the continental United States.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities in this PSC category include solicitations for specialized shipboard electronic components such as hull pressure indicators, engine transmitters, and various alarm and signal system assemblies. The U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command have posted opportunities seeking precise, often brand-specific components. Most solicitations are unrestricted or total small business set-asides, with requirements for detailed technical specifications, source inspection, and compliance with military standards like MIL-STD-130 for marking and IPC J-STD-001 for soldering. Performance locations are typically naval shipyards and distribution centers in states like Maryland, Pennsylvania, and California.
