DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.DLA MARITIME.DLA MARITIME MECHANICSBURG.SPRMM1 DLA MECHANICSBURG · Response deadline: Fri, 06 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime Mechanicsburg is soliciting offers for power distribution equipment. This falls under NAICS code 335312—"Motor and Generator Manufacturing," though in practice this code covers electrical power distribution and conversion equipment used in industrial and military applications. Power distribution equipment typically includes switchgear, transformers, distribution panels, circuit breakers, and related components that manage electrical power flow from source to end-use equipment.
DLA Maritime supports U.S. Navy and other maritime operations, so this equipment likely needs to meet military specifications for shipboard or shore-based power systems. See the solicitation for exact technical requirements, quantities, and delivery locations.

Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open—any responsible business can bid, regardless of size or socio-economic status. Small businesses compete directly against large businesses. Since no set-aside applies (no HUBZone, 8(a), SDVOSB, or WOSB restriction), your competitive position depends on technical capability, past performance, and price rather than set-aside eligibility.
To compete, you must be registered in SAM.gov with active registration through contract award. You likely need a CAGE code and should verify your NAICS 335312 representation in your SAM profile. If you manufacture the equipment, confirm your facility can meet any required quality standards (commonly ISO 9001 or MIL-SPEC). If you're a distributor or reseller, you'll need appropriate manufacturer authorization—see the solicitation for source restrictions or approved sources.
How to put together a competitive bid
For power distribution equipment without a set-aside, price and technical compliance are paramount:
Understand DLA's buying patterns. DLA Maritime often purchases to military specifications (MIL-PRF, MIL-DTL, or NAVSEA drawings). Request the actual solicitation package to identify the specific specification, any qualified products list (QPL) requirements, and whether alternative or equal products are acceptable.
Verify supply chain and lead times. Power distribution equipment with military specifications can have long procurement cycles. Confirm your ability to meet delivery requirements before committing to a delivery schedule in your bid.
Competitive pricing analysis. With full and open competition, expect aggressive pricing from established DLA suppliers. Research historical pricing through DLA's FedMall or recent contract awards for similar NSNs (National Stock Numbers). The classification code 6110 (electrical equipment) may help you locate comparable buys.
Technical proposal completeness. DLA typically evaluates on lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) basis for mature commodities. Ensure your proposal addresses all technical requirements explicitly—non-compliant bids are frequently rejected without discussion.
Past performance. If you lack DLA contract history, emphasize relevant commercial or other government work with similar equipment.
