Newman Daniel A

Power Systems Engineering, operating as a sole proprietorship under Newman Daniel A, is a veteran-owned small disadvantaged business based in Spring Hill, Tennessee, that supplies uninterruptible power supply systems and related critical power infrastructure components to federal agencies as a prime contractor. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across most of its award footprint, though a subset of purchases are unset-aside.

Power Systems Engineering delivers rack-mount and modular UPS units, external batteries, relay cards, network interface components, and installation services across a range of power capacities (1.5 kilowatt-ampere to 5 kilowatt-ampere units) and custom specifications. Recent representative work includes a $98,362 total small business set-aside delivery order awarded in May 2024 by the Air Force Air Mobility Command for 5kVA and 1.5kVA UPS units and external batteries to Fairchild Air Force Base, a $164,975 total small business set-aside from the Federal Bureau of Prisons in November 2023 for new UPS systems at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, and a $120,137 total small business set-aside from the Department of the Army in September 2023 for UPS power supplies under UNISON Buy #1155483. The vendor also supplies specialized equipment to mission-critical research infrastructure — a $25,414 award from the U.S. Geological Survey in August 2021 for UPS replacement supporting a TIMS mass spectrometer, and a $16,141 total small business set-aside to the National Institute of Standards and Technology in September 2022 for brand-name Tripp Lite UPS systems.

The vendor serves 90 distinct federal agencies but concentrates awards across defense logistics and military operations. The top five customers by award count and potential value account for 27% to 29% of recent awards. Naval Sea Systems Command leads by dollar value (12 awards, $561 thousand combined potential value), followed by Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (30 awards, $366 thousand), Army Medical Command (9 awards, $324 thousand), the Drug Enforcement Administration (8 awards, $312 thousand), and the Air Force Air Mobility Command (5 awards, $301 thousand). Activity has remained flat to declining since 2022 — six awards in 2022 and 2023 each, five in 2024, and only one in 2025 and one in 2026 to date. The vendor sits on indefinite-delivery IDCs, including SPE7M515D5039 (10 task orders, $73 thousand combined potential value) and SPM40605D0885 (2 task orders, $8 thousand), though order volume from these vehicles is sparse. Power Systems Engineering operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. The award footprint spans four decades (first award October 1986, most recent March 2026) with combined obligated dollars ($7.5 million) slightly exceeding combined potential value across 256 awards, indicating mature delivery execution on equipment procurements.
