What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime - Weapons Support is procuring a generator, alternating current. This falls under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 61, which covers electric power generation equipment. DLA Maritime manages supply chain operations for naval forces, with Weapons Support handling equipment relevant to weapons systems and related platforms.
NAICS code 335312 designates "Motor and Generator Manufacturing." This industry classification covers establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing electric motors, generators, and generator sets. For small business purposes, the Small Business Administration size standard for this NAICS is typically based on number of employees or average annual receipts—see the solicitation for applicable thresholds.
Generators acquired through DLA often support military vessels, shore facilities, or weapons systems requiring reliable electrical power. Alternating current generators in this context may range from small auxiliary units to larger power generation systems, though specific technical parameters are not included in the available metadata.

Who can bid
This opportunity appears open to all responsible sources, including large and small businesses, given the absence of a designated set-aside. Manufacturers or distributors of AC generators with experience in military or maritime applications should evaluate this opportunity.
To bid, your firm must be registered in SAM.gov and hold any required clearances or certifications. DLA suppliers typically need to comply with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) provisions, including those related to counterfeit parts, quality systems, and country of origin restrictions. See the solicitation for specific qualification requirements.
Small businesses should verify their size status under NAICS 335312 size standards. If you are not currently a DLA supplier, review the Central Contractor Registration and Industrial Plant Equipment (IPE) requirements that may apply to generator manufacturing.
How to put together a competitive bid
For FSC 61 equipment and generator manufacturing bids, focus on these elements:
- Technical compliance: Provide exact model numbers, specifications, and performance data. Military specifications (MIL-SPEC) or commercial item descriptions may apply—see the solicitation for cited documents.
- Traceability and quality: DLA requires robust supply chain documentation. Prepare material certifications, test reports, and evidence of quality management systems (e.g., ISO 9001 or equivalent).
- Past performance: Highlight deliveries to DLA, other defense agencies, or maritime/industrial customers. Include contract numbers, quantities, and points of contact.
- Pricing structure: Itemize unit price, any tooling or non-recurring engineering, and packaging costs. DLA favors firm fixed pricing for commercial items.
- Delivery and packaging: Propose realistic delivery schedules. Military packaging per MIL-STD-2073 may be required; confirm in the full solicitation.
Without a small business set-aside, price competitiveness and technical capability become paramount. Consider whether your firm can meet any minimum order quantities or stocking requirements DLA may impose.
