DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.DLA MARITIME.DLA MARITIME MECHANICSBURG.SPRMM1 DLA MECHANICSBURG · Response deadline: Fri, 20 Nov 2026

What the government is buying

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime Mechanicsburg is soliciting bids for power supplies. This falls under NAICS code 335311—Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing. This NAICS covers establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing power and specialty transformers (except electronic components), power regulators, and other induction and dielectric equipment.

Power supplies in this classification typically involve equipment that converts electrical power from a source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power loads. For DLA Maritime applications, this likely supports naval vessels and shore infrastructure with reliable electrical distribution components.

Key facts

Who can bid

This is a full and open competition with no set-aside designation, meaning any qualified business—small or large—may submit a bid. There is no Small Business Set-Aside, 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB preference indicated in the metadata.

To compete under NAICS 335311, your firm should be established in power transformer or specialty electrical equipment manufacturing. You will need to demonstrate:

• Relevant manufacturing capabilities and quality systems (typically MIL-SPEC or comparable)
• Past performance delivering to DLA or similar defense supply chains
• Ability to meet any required certifications for electrical equipment used in maritime/shipboard environments

Small businesses should note that without a set-aside, they will compete directly against large manufacturers. Consider whether your price and delivery competitiveness can match or beat larger suppliers.

How to put together a competitive bid

Given the power supply nature of this requirement and full open competition:

1. Obtain full specifications immediately: DLA power supply solicitations typically reference detailed military specifications (MIL-PRF, MIL-STD, or MIL-DTL). See the solicitation for exact technical requirements, testing protocols, and acceptance criteria.

2. Verify shipboard qualification requirements: Maritime applications often require shock, vibration, EMI, and environmental testing per MIL-STD-810 or MIL-S-901. Confirm whether your product or proposed solution meets these—or if qualification testing is required.

3. Review DLA's Qualified Suppliers List for Databases (QSLD/QSLM): DLA frequently requires suppliers to be qualified under specific programs. See the solicitation for qualification prerequisites and whether pre-award testing is mandated.

4. Analyze pricing competitiveness: Large transformer manufacturers often dominate this space. Evaluate your manufacturing cost structure, supply chain for core materials (electrical steel, copper windings), and ability to meet any Just-in-Time or long-term contract requirements.

5. Assess delivery and packaging requirements: DLA Maritime shipments typically require military packaging (MIL-STD-2073) and specific marking. See the solicitation for shipping instructions and FOB terms.

6. Prepare complete proposal: Include technical compliance matrix, pricing breakdown, production schedule, and past performance documentation. DLA evaluates on price and technical acceptability for supply contracts.
