Reverse Engineering of Defense Components

The contract seeks to reverse engineer legacy defense components to support the replication or modernization of parts that must conform to military specifications. This involves detailed technical work including the creation of manufacturing drawings, process sheets, and comprehensive engineering analysis to ensure functional equivalence or improved performance of obsolete parts. The effort is critical for maintaining operational readiness by enabling the continued use of systems with discontinued or unavailable original components. All work must align with defense standards and be executed with precision to meet stringent quality and performance requirements. This is a total small business set-aside contract under the SBA program, meaning only small businesses are eligible to respond, and the NAICS code 332999 applies to other fabricated metal product manufacturing. The opportunity is issued under the Maritime Supply Chain organization within the Department of Defense, with performance required at a designated location in Tracy, California, ZIP 95304-5000. The solicitation was posted on July 28, 2026, with responses due by August 10, 2026, and is structured as a subcontract under the DIBBS system. Potential bidders must be prepared to demonstrate capability in defense-related reverse engineering, regulatory compliance, and the production of engineered documentation that supports military-grade manufacturing.
