59--SOLENOID ASSEMBLY
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
DLA Maritime Columbus, part of the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, is soliciting bids for a solenoid assembly. This falls under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 59, which covers electrical and electronic equipment components. Solenoid assemblies are electromechanical devices that convert electrical energy into linear motion, commonly used in military and maritime applications for valve control, locking mechanisms, relays, and actuation systems.
The specific technical requirements for this solenoid assembly—包括 specifications for voltage, current, duty cycle, form factor, environmental ratings, and any military standards (MIL-STD) or performance qualifications—see the solicitation. DLA Maritime typically supports naval surface ships and submarines, so components may need to meet stringent maritime environmental requirements.

Under NAICS 334418, this classification covers establishments primarily engaged in loading customer-supplied digital logic devices onto printed circuit boards, manufacturing motherboards, and assembling other electronic components. For this solenoid assembly, the NAICS assignment suggests the procurement may involve a solenoid with integrated electronic control circuitry rather than a purely mechanical component.
Who can bid
This procurement is 100% set aside for small businesses certified as small under the relevant size standards for NAICS 334418 (typically 1,000 employees for this code). To bid, your business must:
- Be registered in SAM.gov with active registration
- Have an active small business size self-certification on file
- Meet any applicable DLA supplier requirements, including the Qualified Parts List (QPL) or Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) qualifications if specified
- Have or obtain the necessary CAGE code assigned to your facility
The Combined Synopsis/Solicitation format means this notice serves as both the presolicitation announcement and the formal solicitation, so eligible small businesses can submit offers directly in response to this notice without waiting for a separate solicitation release.
How to put together a competitive bid
For DLA electronic component procurements, competitiveness typically depends on several factors:
Technical compliance over price alone. DLA often evaluates on "best value," but for standard catalog items, compliance with the specified military or commercial part number carries heavy weight. Confirm whether the requested solenoid assembly corresponds to an existing National Stock Number (NSN) or requires cross-referencing to a commercial equivalent.
Source of supply verification. If this is an NSN-item, DLA may require you to demonstrate traceability to the original equipment manufacturer or an authorized distributor. Gray-market or unauthorized sources can disqualify bids.
Past performance data. New DLA vendors should highlight relevant manufacturing or distribution experience for electromechanical components, especially in defense or maritime applications.
Packaging and marking requirements. DLA shipments typically require specific military or federal packaging standards (MIL-STD-2073 or ASTM D3951). Factor these costs into your pricing.
Delivery schedule responsiveness. Evaluate whether you can meet any required delivery dates; DLA's Weapon System support often operates on tight fleet readiness timelines.
For the actual pricing submission, see the solicitation for the specific delivery schedule quantities and any Economic Price Adjustment clauses.
