What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia is soliciting bids for a stator assembly for a generator, identifiable by its National Stock Number classification code 6115. Stator assemblies are stationary components in electric generators that contain the windings where voltage is induced—critical parts for aircraft or ground-support generator systems. DLA Aviation typically procures such items to sustain military aircraft and related equipment through its supply chain, making this a defense logistics and sustainment opportunity.
This is a non-competitive or full-and-open procurement with no small-business set-aside indicated in the metadata. Small businesses in electrical equipment manufacturing will compete directly against all qualified vendors, including large manufacturers.

The NAICS code 335312 corresponds to "Motor and Generator Manufacturing," an industry classification covering establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing electric motors, generators, and generator sets. This includes component parts such as stator assemblies when produced by manufacturers in this sector.
Who can bid
Any qualified vendor registered in SAM.gov with the appropriate NAICS code and relevant manufacturing capabilities may bid. Because no set-aside applies, small businesses compete on equal footing with other-than-small businesses, but must still meet all technical, quality, and delivery requirements DLA Aviation specifies for aviation-grade electrical components.
Prospective bidders should expect to demonstrate:
- Experience manufacturing or supplying equivalent generator components
- Compliance with military specifications (typically MIL-SPEC or DLA standard drawings)
- Approved quality systems (often AS9100 for aviation or ISO 9001 baseline)
- Acceptable past performance references
First-time DLA suppliers must verify their SAM.gov registration is active, that their entity profile reflects NAICS 335312, and that any required certifications for defense contracting are current.
How to put together a competitive bid
Source qualification requirements: DLA Aviation Philadelphia frequently requires vendors to hold an approved source of supply or meet qualification testing before award. See the solicitation for whether this stator assembly carries an existing qualified manufacturer list (QML) or requires first-article testing.
Technical compliance: Generator stators for military applications typically must conform to precise dimensional, material, and electrical specifications. Obtain the controlling technical data package referenced in the solicitation—likely a military specification drawing or commercial item description—and confirm your manufacturing process can achieve stated tolerances and winding configurations.
Pricing strategy: Research DLA's historical pricing for similar NSN 6115 items through contracting databases or market research tools. Full-and-open competitions for aviation electrical components often feature established defense suppliers; small businesses may compete on specialized manufacturing efficiency, lower overhead, or accelerated delivery schedules.
Delivery and packaging: DLA contracts incorporate Defense Transportation Regulation requirements, including specialized packaging for electrostatic-sensitive devices. Factor these costs into your price.
Quality representations: Be prepared to submit material certifications, test reports, and traceability documentation. Aviation electrical components commonly require evidence of copper purity, insulation system ratings, and dimensional inspection records.
