About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to procure electrical power supply equipment under NSN 6130012938504, classified as nonrotating electrical converters within the miscellaneous electrical equipment manufacturing sector. The pre-solicitation notice invites qualified sources to demonstrate their capability to manufacture these items competitively or to be considered as approved alternate sources. Current approval is limited to Rantec Power Systems Inc., with the contracting officer noting that no other source has been identified as capable of providing these parts due to the lack of available technical data and the economic infeasibility of government reverse engineering. The evaluation criteria emphasizes that prospective contractors must demonstrate their product meets or exceeds the quality standards of the original equipment manufacturer through comprehensive technical documentation. The response deadline for submitting alternative source information or source approval applications is December 15, 2025, providing interested parties with one week to present their qualifications to Contract Specialist John McCarthy.
No set-aside designations have been applied to this procurement opportunity, meaning competition is open to all qualified sources meeting the technical requirements. While Rantec Power Systems Inc. is currently listed as the approved source, the notice specifically invites other manufacturers to apply through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request program to challenge this single-source designation. The contracting documentation does not disclose specific award values, budget ranges, or quantities required for this procurement. Interested contractors should note that the burden of proof rests with prospective suppliers to comprehensively document and demonstrate that their products are equivalent to or superior to the currently approved manufacturer's offering. All submissions should be directed to John McCarthy at john.mccarthy@dla.mil to meet the December 15, 2025 deadline.
