What the government is buying
The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support unit in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania is soliciting offers for battery chargers, specifically in support of repair or modification work. This falls under Federal Supply Classification 6130 — a category that encompasses electrical power conversion equipment including battery chargers and related components used in military applications.
Notice the title's "IN REPAIR/MODIFICATION OF" phrasing. This suggests the battery chargers are not being procured as standalone commercial items for end-user inventory. Instead, they appear linked to overhaul, repair, or upgrade activities for existing military systems. Battery chargers in the 6130 class typically support platforms ranging from tactical vehicles and aircraft to naval vessels and ground support equipment.

Who can bid
This is a full and open solicitation with no set-aside restriction, meaning any qualifying U.S. business — regardless of size — may submit an offer. Small businesses compete directly against large manufacturers and defense contractors.
The NAICS code 335931 (Battery Manufacturing) establishes the government's size standard for this procurement. Size standards for this NAICS typically use employee-based thresholds; see the solicitation for the exact figure and any applicable exceptions. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and should verify their size status against this NAICS before bidding.
Given the repair/modification context, bidders need not be pure-play battery charger manufacturers. Firms with capabilities in electromechanical repair, military electronics refurbishment, or depot-level overhaul may qualify if they can source or produce compliant chargers meeting military specifications.
How to put together a competitive bid
For battery charger work tied to military repair programs, focus your proposal on:
Technical compliance first. Military battery chargers frequently must meet MIL-STD-810 for environmental ruggedness, MIL-STD-461 for electromagnetic compatibility, or specific technical data packages. See the solicitation for exact performance specifications, form factors, voltage/current outputs, and connector requirements. Do not assume commercial-off-the-shelf units qualify without modification.
Traceability and counterfeit avoidance. NAVSUP typically requires strict supply chain documentation for electrical components, including manufacturer certificates of conformance and counterfeit parts avoidance plans (DFARS 252.246-7007). Prepare your quality system documentation in advance.
Repair/modification workflow clarity. Clarify whether you are offering: (a) newly manufactured chargers for installation during third-party repair, (b) your own repair services incorporating charger replacement, or (c) modification kits. Each implies different pricing structures, labor hour estimates, and warranty obligations.
Lead time and obsolescence mitigation. Legacy military battery chargers often involve obsolete or sole-source components. Address how you will manage long-lead items and component obsolescence across the contract period of performance.
Past performance alignment. Cite relevant Navy, DLA, or other DoD battery/electronics contracts. Emphasize experience with FSC 6130 items or analogous military electrical power conversion equipment.
Next steps

Note the deadline: Responses are due November 9, 2026 at 4:30 PM Eastern Time. Allow buffer time for SAM.gov technical issues or required revisions.
Verify place of performance once the full solicitation is available — this affects your cost structure for shipping, travel, and any required on-site support.
Confirm your NAICS 335931 size status in SAM if claiming small business status, though this is not a set-aside competition.
