DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.DLA MARITIME.DLA MARITIME COLUMBUS.DLA WEAPONS SUPPORT · Response deadline: Mon, 02 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is procuring electrical connector covers—protective components that shield electrical connectors from environmental damage, moisture, dust, and corrosion during storage, transport, or when unmated. These are standard hardware items in DLA's weapons support supply chain.
This falls under NAICS code 335931 (Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing), which covers manufacturers of electrical fittings and similar equipment. The work involves producing or supplying a specific military-standard or commercially available cover for electrical connectors used in defense applications. DLA Maritime and DLA Weapons Support manage sustainment for Navy and weapons systems, so these covers likely support shipboard or ordnance electrical systems.

Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no set-aside designated. Any qualified U.S. business—small or large—may submit an offer, provided they meet DLA's qualification requirements.
Small businesses in NAICS 335931 should note the Small Business Administration size standard for this code see the solicitation for the current dollar threshold. DLA typically requires suppliers to have acceptable past performance, adequate financial capacity, and the ability to meet military or commercial quality specifications.
Given that this is a supplies contract for a discrete hardware item, manufacturers with existing production lines for electrical connector accessories or related MIL-spec components are best positioned. Distributors may bid if the solicitation permits non-manufacturer exceptions, though see the solicitation for specific source restrictions.
How to put together a competitive bid
For a DLA combined synopsis/solicitation of this type, focus on these elements:
Verify specification compliance. Locate the exact cover specification (part number, NSN, or drawing) in the solicitation documents. Electrical connector covers typically reference military standards such as MIL-DTL-26482, MIL-DTL-38999, or equivalent commercial standards. Non-conforming offers will be rejected.
Confirm your manufacturing authority. If you are not the original manufacturer, determine whether the solicitation requires a Certificate of Conformance, first article testing, or authorized distributor status. DLA Weapons Support often requires traceability to approved sources.
Price strategically for the total evaluated cost. DLA evaluates on total evaluated price including transportation. Factor in your shipping costs to DLA depots or direct to fleet locations. For small-quantity items, packaging and freight can swing competitiveness.
Review DLA's Supplier Support term and conditions. Register in DLA's procurement systems if not already active. Ensure your SAM.gov registration is current through the award period.
Prepare for rapid award. Combined synopsis/solicitation notices frequently have short evaluation periods. Have your production capacity and material lead times confirmed before submitting.
