POWER SUPPLY
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.DLA MARITIME.DLA MARITIME MECHANICSBURG.SPRMM1 DLA MECHANICSBURG · Response deadline: Fri, 30 Oct 2026
What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime Mechanicsburg is soliciting bids for power supply equipment. DLA Maritime is the primary supply chain manager for the U.S. Navy's maritime operations, supporting ship maintenance and readiness through procurement of critical components. Power supplies fall under Federal Supply Classification code 6130, which covers converters, electrical power, and related equipment used in military systems.
Power supply units in this category typically convert electrical power from one form to another—such as AC to DC conversion, voltage regulation, or frequency conversion—to support shipboard electronics, weapons systems, communications equipment, and other mission-critical Navy infrastructure. These components must meet stringent military specifications for reliability, environmental resistance, and electromagnetic compatibility given their deployment in maritime environments.

Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no small business set-aside, meaning businesses of any size may submit offers. Large defense contractors, mid-tier suppliers, and small businesses all compete on equal terms.
Small businesses may still find opportunities here, particularly if they:
- Hold relevant defense manufacturing capabilities or subcontracting relationships
- Quality for DLA's small business programs through a different mechanism
- Can meet MIL-SPEC or MIL-STD requirements for military-grade power supplies
Check your size standard against the applicable NAICS code in the solicitation. If the actual scope involves broader power supply manufacturing, verify whether an alternative NAICS with a different size threshold applies.
How to put together a competitive bid
For power supply manufacturing bids to DLA:
Obtain the technical specifications: DLA solicitations reference detailed military specifications (MIL-PRF, MIL-STD, or commercial item descriptions). Download these from the solicitation attachments or ASSIST database before estimating costs.
Verify Qualified Parts List (QPL) status: Many 6130 items require manufacturers to appear on a QPL or Qualified Suppliers List for Manufacturers (QSLM). Confirm whether your product or manufacturing process needs pre-qualification.
Assess testing requirements: Military power supplies typically require environmental testing (temperature, humidity, shock, vibration, salt fog), electromagnetic interference testing, and burn-in periods. Factor these into pricing and lead time.
Review DLA's terms: DLA uses its Master Solicitation for Automated Standard Offer Forms and specific DLA Regional Item Manager Instructions. Understand warranty terms, packaging requirements, and marking standards.
Evaluate supply chain risks: Semiconductors, magnetic components, and specialized capacitors in power supplies face ongoing availability constraints. Document your sourcing strategy and any alternative sourcing.
Consider past DLA performance: If you have prior DLA contracts, review your Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs)—these influence source selection.
