61--POWER SUPPLY
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.DLA LAND.DLA LAND COLUMBUS.DLA WEAPONS SUPPORT · Response deadline: Mon, 02 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency Land branch at Columbus is acquiring a power supply under a Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) set-aside. Power supplies in the federal procurement context typically refer to electrical devices that convert input power to the specific voltage, current, and frequency required by electronic equipment. DLA Land and Maritime commonly sources electrical and mechanical components to support military weapon systems and platforms, so this requirement likely supports defense maintenance, repair, or manufacturing operations.
The classification code 61 falls under the Federal Supply Classification for electric wire, and power and distribution equipment. NAICS code 335999 covers all other miscellaneous electrical equipment and component manufacturing. See the solicitation on SAM.gov for the exact technical specifications, quantity, and intended application.

Who can bid

- Be a small business under NAICS 335999 size standards ($1,000–$1,500 employees depending on specific application; see the solicitation for the applicable threshold)
- Maintain its principal office in a designated HUBZone area and ensure at least 35% of employees reside in a HUBZone

How to put together a competitive bid
Power supply procurement for DLA typically emphasizes reliability, traceability, and compliance with military or commercial specifications. To strengthen your bid:
- Verify specifications precisely. Power supplies vary enormously by input/output voltage, wattage, form factor, and environmental rating. Obtain the full specification from the solicitation and confirm your product matches exactly. DLA often references military standards (MIL-STD) or Qualified Products Lists (QPL).
- Demonstrate supply chain resilience. Defense logistics contracts favor vendors with established manufacturer relationships, domestic sourcing capabilities, and ability to meet delivery requirements without disruption.
- Price competitively but sustainably. DLA awards frequently go to lowest-price technically acceptable (LPTA) offers. Review recent contract awards for similar NSNs or part numbers to benchmark pricing. Account for material cost volatility in electrical components.
- Highlight past performance. Document comparable DLA, military, or aerospace power supply deliveries. Include performance metrics for on-time delivery and quality acceptance rates.
- Complete all representations. HUBZone set-asides require specific HUBZone representations, subcontracting plans if applicable, and compliance with DFARS clauses. Missing certifications commonly disqualify otherwise eligible bidders.
- Review inspection and acceptance terms. DLA Columbus typically requires first article inspection or certificate of conformance for electrical components. Confirm your quality system can support whatever inspection regime the solicitation specifies.
