POWER SUPPLY

What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, is soliciting bids for power supply equipment. This falls under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 6130, which covers converters, electrical power supplies—equipment that transforms or conditions electrical power for military systems and platforms.
The requirement is unclassified regarding any specific technical details. Small businesses evaluating this opportunity should note that the solicitation likely involves standard or specialized power conversion equipment for naval weapons systems, given the NAVSUP WSS mission of providing logistics support for naval aviation and maritime weapons systems.
NAICS code 335931 corresponds to "Battery Manufacturing," though FSC 6130 power supplies more commonly align with broader electrical equipment manufacturing. This classification may reflect specific battery or power storage components integrated with supply systems, or the government's use of NAICS for administrative tracking purposes.

Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open competition with no small business set-aside, meaning businesses of any size may bid. However, small businesses—including standard small businesses, 8(a) firms, HUBZone certified businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs), and women-owned small businesses (WOSBs)—remain eligible and competitive if they meet technical and past performance requirements.
Given NAVSUP WSS's role in weapon systems logistics, contractors typically need:
- SAM.gov registration active through contract award
- DUNS/UEI registration
- Past performance references, preferably in defense power electronics or similar FSC 6130 items
- Ability to meet DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) clauses
- Possible MIL-STD or MIL-SPEC compliance for military-grade power supplies
- ITAR registration if items are defense articles on the U.S. Munitions List
How to put together a competitive bid
Review technical requirements carefully: Power supplies under FSC 6130 vary enormously—from rack-mount commercial units to ruggedized, shock-hardened military designs. See the solicitation for exact specifications including input/output voltages, power ratings, environmental requirements, and form factors.
Verify your NAICS alignment: While listed as 335931, ensure your SAM.gov NAICS selections include this code or closely related codes (334410 for power supply manufacturing, for example). SAM registration must reflect the codes under which you seek federal contracts.
Assess past performance relevance: NAVSUP WSS evaluates past performance rigorously. Document comparable deliveries to DoD or other federal agencies, especially for FSC 6130 items, NSN-managed products, or weapon system support contracts.
Understand delivery requirements: NAVSUP WSS often requires delivery to DDP (Destination Delivery Point) at Defense Distribution Centers or direct to fleet maintenance activities. Confirm delivery terms, packaging, and marking requirements in the solicitation.
Price strategically: Full and open competition means competing against large defense contractors with established NAVSUP relationships. Small businesses should evaluate whether teaming arrangements or subcontracting opportunities offer better market entry than prime bidding.
Check for drawings and specs: NAVSUP WSS solicitations for weapon systems parts often reference military specifications, technical drawings, or Source Control Drawings (SCDs) available through the solicitation.
