What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking suppliers for power supply adapters through a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation. This falls under DLA Land Columbus, specifically DLA Weapons Support, which manages supply chains for weapons systems and related equipment across the military services. Power supply adapters are critical components that convert electrical power to the correct voltage, current, and frequency needed to operate military equipment—everything from communications gear to weapon system electronics.
NAICS code 335999 covers "All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing," a broad category that includes various electrical apparatus not classified elsewhere. See the solicitation for the specific technical requirements, quantities, and delivery schedules for these adapters.

Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open competition with no set-aside, meaning any qualified business—large or small—may submit a bid. Small businesses are encouraged to compete, but the government has not restricted this opportunity to any particular socioeconomic category (such as 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, or woman-owned small business programs).
To compete, your firm must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and should have experience manufacturing or supplying electrical components that meet military specifications. DLA Weapons Support contracts typically require compliance with defense quality standards and may involve packaging and marking requirements under MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073. See the solicitation for specific qualification requirements and any required registrations or certifications.
How to put together a competitive bid
For electrical components sold to DLA Weapons Support, competitiveness depends on several factors:
Technical compliance – Power supply adapters for military use often must meet detailed performance specifications, including input/output ratings, efficiency, operating temperature ranges, and electromagnetic compatibility. Obtain the full technical specifications from the solicitation and confirm your product matches exactly or identify any exceptions you must take.
Quality systems – DLA suppliers typically need a quality management system; many military contracts reference ISO 9001 or AS9100. Determine if source inspection or first article testing is required before awarding full production quantities.
Past performance – DLA evaluates supplier performance history through systems like the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). If you have prior DLA or defense contracts, highlight on-time delivery and quality acceptance rates. New entrants should emphasize comparable commercial experience.
Pricing strategy – With no set-aside restricting competition, expect pricing pressure from established DLA suppliers. Research historical pricing for similar National Stock Number (NSN) items through DLA's public data tools if available. Consider your tiered pricing for different quantity breaks.
Packaging and marking – Weapons Support items frequently require specific military packaging, which adds cost but also creates barrier to entry. Factor this into your total evaluated price.
Small business credit – Even without a set-aside, if you qualify as a small business under NAICS 335999's size standard, ensure your SAM profile reflects this status accurately; it may be a slight evaluation factor or help in future sole-source justifications.
