What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy is soliciting bids for electrical plug connectors, specifically under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) code 5935, which covers electrical connectors and fittings. These components are essential parts for military electronic systems and equipment.
The NAICS code 335931 corresponds to "Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing," which includes manufacturers of electrical connectors, plugs, and related wiring devices. This type of procurement typically involves supplying military-grade electrical connectors that meet strict defense specifications for durability, performance, and interoperability with naval weapon systems.

Who can bid
This solicitation is set aside for full and open competition with no small business preference applied. Any responsible offeror—large business, small business, veteran-owned, woman-owned, or otherwise—may submit a bid. However, given the NAICS code and typical defense supply requirements, this opportunity is most directly relevant to manufacturers or distributors of electrical connectors that can meet military specifications.
To compete, your firm should have experience with or capacity for:
- Manufacturing or supplying electrical connectors under FSC 5935
- Meeting Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements
- Potentially holding necessary quality certifications (such as ISO 9001 or AS9100, though see the solicitation for specifics)
- Demonstrating past performance with defense or industrial electrical components
How to put together a competitive bid
For full-and-open connector procurements, focus on these strategic elements:
Technical compliance: Military electrical connectors must often satisfy specific Mil-Spec standards (such as MIL-DTL or MIL-PRF series). See the solicitation to identify exact technical requirements, dimensional specifications, and performance criteria your product must meet.
Pricing strategy: With no set-aside restricting competition, price competitiveness becomes particularly important. Analyze historical pricing for similar NAVSUP connector awards if available. Consider your manufacturing costs, overhead allocation, and reasonable profit margin.
Past performance: Highlight relevant contract history supplying connectors or similar electrical components to defense or aerospace customers. Emphasize on-time delivery and quality acceptance rates.
Supply chain and lead times: NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support manages sustainment for operational weapons systems. Demonstrate reliable sourcing for raw materials and components, plus realistic production and delivery schedules.
Small business participation: Even without a set-aside, you may gain evaluation consideration through subcontracting plans if required, or by leveraging small business status in source selection factors if evaluated.
