Nova Power Solutions, Inc.

Nova Power Solutions, Inc., a Sterling, Virginia-based manufacturer of uninterruptible power supplies, battery storage products, and power conditioning equipment, operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) under total small business set-asides across the Defense Logistics Agency and Navy, with a subsidiary relationship to parent company Clary Corp (a veteran-owned manufacturer). The company competes predominantly under small business set-asides—most delivery orders and purchases are designated Total Small Business—and holds a single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime valued at $1,956,340.62 through August 22, 2029.

Customer concentration is extreme and heavily skewed toward logistics support. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 4,069 of 5,019 total awards (81% of award count) and $26.4 million of $67 million in combined potential value (39% of dollars). The Navy's Information Warfare Systems Command (358 awards, $7.9 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (166 awards, $5 million), and Naval Sea Systems Command (81 awards, $1.3 million) comprise the next tier. Together, these five agencies represent 95% of award count but only 88% of potential value, signaling that DLA's volume concentration masks higher-dollar awards elsewhere—GSA Federal Acquisition Service, with only two awards, carries $18.1 million in combined potential value.

Work is transacted almost entirely through the DLA Land and Maritime single-award IDC, which has generated 622 delivery orders under Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7LX20D5043, 577 under SPE7LX19D5051, and 542 under SPE7LX15D0063, collectively accounting for hundreds of small-dollar task orders ($678 to $43 thousand range) for battery sets, battery assemblies, and modulator-power supplies. Representative prime work includes a $1.1 million replacement shipboard power pack contract with the Department of the Army (April 2026, firm fixed-price definitive, total small business set-aside), a $205.8 thousand battery assembly purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (February 2025, 231 units), a $52.3 thousand ruggedized UPS and slide brackets delivery from Naval Air Warfare Center (January 2026, competitive, non-set-aside), and a $43.3 thousand power supply delivery order under DLA IDC (May 2025, total small business set-aside). The company also delivers non-warranty repair services; a $12.8 thousand UPS electronics tray repair for Naval Sea Systems Command (March 2026, open competition) and a $12.4 thousand UPS warranty repair award from Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (March 2025) exemplify this secondary capability.

Activity has contracted sharply—371 awards in 2022 declined to 42 in 2026 (year-to-date through May)—suggesting market saturation or consolidation within the DLA battery ecosystem. Only one award faces recompete in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $1.1 million), indicating limited near-term cliff risk. In subcontract roles, Nova Power Solutions supplies UPS and power supply components to Science Applications International Corporation (GCCS-M Maritime Japan hardware, April 2026), Chugach Technical Solutions LLC (USCG engineering services, January and February 2026), and Scientific Research Corporation (CVN-75 RCS labor UPS systems, May 2026), positioning the company as a power-infrastructure component supplier to primes serving naval and Coast Guard missions.

The company's capability portfolio is narrow and highly specialized: battery sets, battery assemblies, rechargeable batteries, modulator-power supplies, power conditioning equipment, and UPS systems for defense logistics, naval platforms, and critical military communications infrastructure. NAICS concentration reflects this specificity—Storage Battery Manufacturing (1,495 awards) and All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment Manufacturing (2,592 awards) dominate, with PSC codes driven by Batteries, Rechargeable (4,077 awards) and Converters, Electrical, Nonrotating (434 awards). The vendor has been registered in SAM since January 2002 and previously held subcontract relationships with Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, and Booz Allen Hamilton for power supply and UPS component delivery, though recent sub awards flow through smaller primes such as Chugach and SAIC.

The subsidiary structure under Clary Corp (veteran-owned) does not appear to alter Nova Power Solutions' small-business posture in federal contracts; the subsidiary maintains its own SAM registration and competes under its own small business designation across DLA and Navy customers. The recompete cliff data suggests limited vehicle-level competition exposure; most work flows through a handful of mature DLA IDCs with hundreds of historical task orders, reducing turnover risk but also indicating commodity-like pricing and limited growth runway within the current contract ecosystem.
