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 offers for power supply equipment. This falls under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 6130, which covers converters, electrical power, and related power supply apparatus used in military and defense applications.
NAICS code 335931 corresponds to "Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing," though in practice this code broadly covers manufacturers of electrical equipment including power supplies, transformers, and related components. DLA Maritime typically procures equipment to support U.S. Navy shipboard systems, shore facilities, and other maritime defense infrastructure.
The specific technical requirements—voltage ratings, form factors, military specifications, quantities, and delivery schedules—are not included in the available metadata. Contractors should see the solicitation for complete specifications.

Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no set-aside program, meaning any responsible source—regardless of size—may submit an offer. This includes:
- Large businesses
- Small businesses (including those that might qualify for other programs)
- Non-traditional defense contractors
- Foreign entities, where permitted by DLA acquisition regulations
Because there is no set-aside, small businesses will compete directly against large established defense suppliers. However, small businesses with relevant manufacturing capabilities should not self-exclude; DLA actively tracks small business participation and may include evaluation factors that benefit qualified small businesses even in unrestricted competitions.
Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and have an active CAGE code. Given the FSC 6130 classification and likely military application, contractors should anticipate Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses and possible Buy American Act or Trade Agreements Act requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
Research the technical baseline: Power supplies under FSC 6130 often must meet military specifications (MIL-PRF, MIL-STD, or detailed DLA drawings). Obtain the Item Identification Guide and any referenced specification sheets from the solicitation. If the requirement references a national stock number (NSN), review historical procurement data in FPDS or SAM.gov Contract Opportunities Archive to understand past pricing and competitors.
Verify manufacturing and testing capabilities: DLA Maritime frequently requires source inspection or first article testing for electrical equipment. Confirm your facility can support Quality Assurance testing, environmental screening (thermal, vibration, EMI), and documentation consistent with ISO 9001 or AS9100 if specified.
Assess supply chain and lead times: Electronic components, semiconductors, and magnetics for power supplies face ongoing market constraints. Price your offer with realistic lead times and consider alternate part proposals only if the solicitation permits them.
Review DFARS flows: Expect clauses related to cybersecurity (DFARS 252.204-7012), radio frequency identification (RFID), and item unique identification (IUID) for deliverables.
Evaluate teaming: Unrestricted competitions against Tier-1 defense suppliers may favor teaming arrangements or subcontracting strategies for small businesses lacking full vertically integrated capability.
