I'm not looking for anything that would justify 6 figure numbers. I'm
looking for a few custom circuit boards to be designed and prototyped so
that they interface with what we have now. Preferably done in the US. The
suggested links received so far are on the lines of what I was looking for.

I was anticipating the electronic design community would have its own bid
sites but that doesn't seem to be the case.
