Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no small business set-aside, meaning all responsible offerors regardless of size may bid. The NAICS code 335999 covers manufacturers of miscellaneous electrical equipment not classified elsewhere, including various motor and generator components, electrical coils, and related apparatus.
Small businesses may still compete effectively here, particularly those with:
- Experience manufacturing electrical motor assemblies to military or marine specifications
- DLA supply chain experience and familiarity with MIL-spec requirements
- Active DLA Technical Data repositories or qualification for the specific part number
- Capability to meet Quality Assurance requirements typical of DLA contracts
No HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or 8(a) preference applies, so small businesses compete on equal footing with large manufacturers on price, technical capability, and past performance.
How to put together a competitive bid
For DLA motor assembly solicitations, focus on these competitive elements:
Technical compliance: Verify you have the exact part number, military specification, or technical drawing package. DLA Maritime procurement typically references specific NSNs (National Stock Numbers) or part identifiers—see the solicitation for these details. Any deviation from required specifications usually results in rejection.
Pricing strategy: Research DLA's historical pricing for comparable motor assemblies through FPDS or DLA's own procurement data. DLA evaluates on lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) basis for many such items. Factor in special packaging, preservation, and military marking requirements.
Delivery and supply chain: Confirm your production capacity against required delivery schedule. DLA often requires expedited delivery to its distribution centers or directly to fleet activities. Assess your vendor-managed inventory capabilities if the solicitation includes recurring requirements.
Quality systems: Ensure your quality system meets MIL-I-45208, ISO 9001, or AS9100 as applicable. Be prepared to submit First Article Test (FAT) or qualification samples if required.
SAM registration: Verify active SAM.gov registration with correct NAICS code 335999.
