What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapons Systems Support Philadelphia office is soliciting offers for power supply equipment. This falls under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 6130, which covers transformers, power distribution equipment, and related electrical power conversion apparatus. See the solicitation for the specific technical requirements, quantities, and performance specifications.
NAICS 335931 covers the current-carrying wiring device manufacturing industry—a category that includes power outlets, switches, and related electrical distribution components. However, given the FSC 6130 classification, this procurement likely involves power supplies or electrical power conversion equipment rather than standard wiring devices. Small businesses in electrical equipment manufacturing and power systems should review the full solicitation to confirm exact product requirements.

Who can bid
This is a full and open solicitation with no set-aside, meaning any responsible offeror—large or small business—may compete. Small businesses are encouraged to bid but will compete directly against all other qualified vendors.
To be eligible, bidders should:
- Be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) with active registration through contract performance period
- Hold applicable manufacturing or commercial credentials for electrical power equipment (see the solicitation for specific certifications)
- Meet any DOD or NAVSUP qualification requirements referenced in the solicitation
- Demonstrate past performance in manufacturing or supplying similar FSC 6130 items
How to put together a competitive bid
Understand the product specification: FSC 6130 items can range from basic AC-DC converters to complex military-specification power distribution units. The solicitation may reference military specifications (MIL-PRF, MIL-STD) or commercial item descriptions. Review all drawing requirements, test protocols, and acceptance criteria carefully.
Price realistically for manufacturing: Electrical power equipment often requires specialized components, testing, and quality assurance. Factor in:
- Raw material costs (magnetics, semiconductors, thermal management components)
- Production lead times and obsolescence risks
- First article testing or qualification requirements
- Packaging and military shipping specifications
Highlight small-business advantages if applicable: While this is unrestricted, small businesses can emphasize responsiveness, direct engineering support, and supply chain flexibility. If you qualify for any SBA programs (HUBZone, 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB), note these for potential subcontracting appeal—even though they don't provide bidding preference here.
Prepare for DOD contracting requirements: NAVSUP WSS Philadelphia typically requires:
- Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) compliance if rated orders apply
- Cybersecurity requirements under DFARS 252.204-7012 if covered defense information is involved
- Traceability and counterfeit prevention protocols for electronic components
Next steps
- Read the full solicitation immediately at SAM.gov using solicitation number N0038326QDA45

- Request clarification promptly if any specifications or requirements are unclear; the short response window limits time for questions
- Verify SAM registration is current and matches your SAM MPIN for electronic submission through the designated system (see the solicitation for instructions)
Given the tight deadline, prioritize understanding technical requirements and delivery expectations before committing production capacity.
