What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (Mechanicsburg), is soliciting offers for battery power supplies. This falls under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 6130, which covers converters, electrical, rotating; and power supplies used with electronic equipment. The generic title suggests this is a requirements-type procurement for standard or specialized battery power supply units that support naval weapon systems or related electronics.
NAICS code 335931 covers "Battery Manufacturing," specifically establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing storage batteries. This includes rechargeable batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and other battery types used in industrial, military, and specialized applications.

Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open competition with no small business set-aside designated in the metadata. Any responsible offeror—regardless of size—that can manufacture or supply battery power supplies meeting the Navy's requirements may bid. This includes:
- Large battery manufacturers with established defense contracts
- Small businesses in battery manufacturing or supply
- Nontraditional defense contractors with relevant technical capabilities
Because NAVSUP WSS handles weapon systems support, prospective bidders should expect requirements related to military specifications (MIL-SPEC), traceability, and potentially long-term sustainment needs. If your firm has not previously done business with NAVSUP WSS, verify your SAM.gov registration is active and that you have any required Cage Codes.
Small businesses should note that without a set-aside, they will compete directly with larger, more established defense contractors. Consider whether subcontracting or teaming arrangements might strengthen your competitive position.
How to put together a competitive bid
Understand the technical requirements: Battery power supplies for naval applications typically must meet stringent standards for shock, vibration, temperature extremes, and electromagnetic compatibility. See the solicitation for exact specifications, testing requirements, and any referenced military standards.
Assess your manufacturing and supply chain: NAICS 335931 points to actual battery production capability. Be prepared to demonstrate your production capacity, quality control systems (ISO 9001, AS9100, or similar), and ability to meet delivery schedules. The Navy will likely require source inspection or first article testing.
Pricing strategy for full-and-open competition: Without a set-aside, price competition will be intense. Analyze whether you can achieve cost advantages through:
- Efficient manufacturing processes
- Existing supplier relationships for raw materials (lithium cells, etc.)
- Economies of scale from parallel commercial production
Past performance documentation: NAVSUP WSS heavily weights contractor reliability. Prepare relevant past performance references, especially for defense or aerospace battery contracts. Include data on on-time delivery rates and quality metrics.
Compliance with DFARS clauses: Navy procurements incorporate Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement provisions. Review contractor reporting requirements, cybersecurity standards (DFARS 252.204-7012 if applicable), and any domestic sourcing restrictions.
