POWER SUPPLY
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.DLA MARITIME.DLA MARITIME MECHANICSBURG.SPRMM1 DLA MECHANICSBURG · Response deadline: Mon, 16 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime Mechanicsburg is soliciting bids for a power supply on behalf of the Department of Defense. Based on the classification code 6130 and NAICS code 335931, this procurement falls under the category of converters, electrical power, and nonrotating electrical equipment manufacturing. The NAICS code 335931 specifically covers "Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing," though in federal contracting contexts it often serves as the closest match for various electrical power supply and conversion equipment when more granular codes don't apply.
DLA Maritime Mechanicsburg serves as the lead distribution center for electrical and mechanical spare parts supporting naval vessels and maritime operations. Power supplies in this context typically provide regulated electrical power for shipboard systems, weapons platforms, navigation equipment, or other critical military applications where reliable power conversion is essential.
Specific technical requirements, quantities, and performance specifications for this power supply see the solicitation.

Who can bid
This is an unrestricted solicitation with no small business set-aside. All responsible sources—large businesses, small businesses, and other eligible entities—may submit offers. Competition will be open to any qualified manufacturer or supplier that can meet DLA's technical, quality, and delivery requirements.
Small businesses are encouraged to compete, but they will face direct competition from large defense contractors and established DLA suppliers. To bid effectively, a small business should either:
- Manufacture power supplies or electrical conversion equipment directly
- Partner with an OEM as a distributor or value-added reseller
- Participate as a subcontractor to a prime bidder
Particular attention should be paid to DLA's qualification requirements for suppliers of shipboard electrical equipment, which typically include stringent testing, traceability, and quality assurance standards.
How to put together a competitive bid
Power supply solicitations from DLA Maritime tend to emphasize technical compliance, reliability, and past performance over price alone. Given the unrestricted nature of this competition, small businesses should focus on these specific strategies:
Technical precision: Ensure your proposed power supply exactly matches or exceeds any specified input/output voltages, power ratings, form factors, and environmental tolerances (often MIL-STD-810 or MIL-STD-461 for electromagnetic compatibility). Shipboard applications demand resistance to shock, vibration, salt spray, and humidity.
Quality certifications: Verify your QSL (Qualified Suppliers List) status or ability to meet DLA's quality requirements. ISO 9001 certification and AS9100 (aerospace quality standard, often accepted for naval applications) strengthen credibility.
Traceability and documentation: Defense supply chains require complete lot traceability, material certifications, and test reports. Build these costs into your pricing rather than treating them as afterthoughts.
Past performance: If you lack direct DLA experience, highlight comparable commercial marine, aerospace, or industrial power supply contracts. Consider teaming with an established DLA supplier to leverage their past performance rating.
Delivery and packaging: DLA has strict packaging and labeling requirements (often MIL-STD-2073). Factor in lead times for any custom configurations and propose realistic delivery schedules.
