Sources sought: circuit card assembly

The Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is conducting a sources sought notice for a Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) used in the Joint Biological Point Detection System. The specific NSN is 5998-01-541-7227, with a part number of 5-15-36232, and the procurement will require both First Article Testing (FAT) and Production Lot Testing (PLT). The agency is seeking to understand the capabilities and qualifications of potential vendors, including both small and large businesses within the Printed Circuit Assembly Manufacturing sector (NAICS 334418). Interested vendors must complete a detailed survey questionnaire and submit their responses via email to Jonice Green by 4:00 PM EST on February 26, 2025. The Technical Data Package (TDP) will only be made available if/when a formal solicitation is released, and vendors must possess a current DD 2345 Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement certification.

The sources sought notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, meaning both small and large businesses can compete for the potential contract. The estimated procurement quantity is 59 units of the Circuit Card Assembly, though no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the current documentation. Vendors will be evaluated based on their manufacturing capabilities, production rates, pricing structures, quality management systems, and commercial availability of the required component. The Technical Data Package has a distribution code of D, which limits access to U.S. Government agencies and authorized contractors. While this is currently a pre-solicitation notice, it represents a preliminary market research effort by ACC-DTA to identify potential sources for this military-unique electronic component before issuing a formal solicitation.
