What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, is soliciting offers for power supply equipment. This falls under NAICS code 335931—Battery Manufacturing—and Federal Supply Classification 6130, which covers converters, electrical power, and related power supply equipment commonly used in military and defense applications.
Power supplies in this category typically include devices that convert electrical power from one form to another to meet specific operational requirements. For naval applications, this can encompass everything from shipboard power conversion units to specialized power equipment supporting weapon systems and other critical infrastructure. These components must often meet stringent military specifications for reliability, environmental resilience, and electromagnetic compatibility. See the solicitation for exact technical specifications, quantities, and required configurations.

Who can bid
This is an unrestricted solicitation with no set-aside program, meaning any responsible business—large or small—can submit an offer. Companies in power supply manufacturing, battery technology, and electrical component production should evaluate their capabilities against this requirement.
Small businesses without limitations on subcontracting concerns should note that unrestricted competitions often favor offerors with established defense contracting experience, given NAVSUP WSS's role in supporting weapon systems with high-reliability demands. If you are a small manufacturer in NAICS 335931, assess whether you can meet any required quality certifications (such as ISO 9001 or AS9100), security clearances, or testing protocols that may apply to military-grade power equipment.
How to put together a competitive bid
For power supply solicitations under FSC 6130, pay close attention to these areas:
Technical compliance: Military power supplies often reference MIL-STD requirements for shock, vibration, temperature extremes, and EMI/EMC. Verify whether the solicitation cites specific military standards or performance specifications. Submit complete technical data, including mean time between failure (MTBF) calculations and qualification test reports.
Traceability and counterfeit avoidance: Defense supply chains require rigorous documentation of component sourcing. Be prepared to demonstrate your supply chain controls and compliance with DFARS counterfeit electronic part detection and avoidance requirements.
Past performance: NAVSUP WSS evaluates reliability of supply. Highlight contracts with DoD or comparable high-reliability customers. If you lack direct Navy experience, emphasize relevant commercial or industrial applications with similar technical demands.
Pricing strategy: In unrestricted competitions, analyze whether you can compete on total evaluated price including warranty, technical support, and lifecycle considerations. Small businesses may find opportunities in specialized configurations or faster delivery schedules.
