59--SWITCH,PRESSURE
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 seeking to procure a switch, pressure under this combined synopsis/solicitation. This falls within Federal Supply Classification code 59, which covers electrical and electronic equipment components. Pressure switches are control devices that open or close an electrical contact when a certain fluid pressure is reached. They are commonly used in military and maritime applications for monitoring and controlling hydraulic, pneumatic, or fluid systems—fitting with DLA Maritime's role in supporting Navy and Marine Corps logistics.
The NAICS code 313110 corresponds to Fiber, Yarn, and Thread Mills, though in federal procurement this code is sometimes assigned to textile-related manufacturing capabilities even for electrical components with specialized housing or insulation requirements. Given DLA's role as a supply chain manager, this procurement likely supports depot-level repair, fleet maintenance, or inventory replenishment for pressure switch assemblies used aboard naval vessels or in weapons systems.

Who can bid
This opportunity is set aside entirely for small businesses certified under NAICS 313110 or registered under that code. To qualify, your business must:
- Be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) with active status
- Have a current small business self-certification or SBA size standard verification for NAICS 313110
- Meet any applicable DLA Qualification Requirement for pressure switches if specified in the full solicitation
- Demonstrate past performance in manufacturing or supplying pressure switches, electrical control components, or comparable military-specification items
DLA typically requires suppliers to comply with Mil-Spec or commercial item descriptions. If you are not currently a DLA supplier, you may need to complete supplier qualification processes.
How to put together a competitive bid
Verify your NAICS alignment. The 313110 assignment is unusual for pressure switches—confirm in SAM.gov that your primary NAICS or secondary code matches, or contact the contracting officer to understand the procurement's manufacturing requirements.
Obtain the specification package. DLA electronics procurements typically reference military specifications (MIL-PRF, MIL-DTL) or commercial item descriptions. Request or download the full technical data package to identify exact electrical ratings, pressure ranges, connector types, and environmental testing requirements.
Confirm your supply chain for raw materials. Pressure switches often require specialized diaphragm materials, hermetic seals, and contact assemblies. Document your sources and lead times, as DLA evaluates delivery reliability.
Review DLA's Electronic Cataloging requirements. Part number cross-references, National Stock Number (NSN) assignments, and technical documentation may be required.
Price strategically. Small business total set-asides reduce competition, but DLA employs automated procurement tools with market research. Analyze historical contract data in SAM.gov for comparable pressure switch awards.
Submit through DLA's requested method—likely DIBBS (DLA Internet Bid Board System) or as directed in the solicitation.
