10--BLOCK ASSEMBLY,EJECTOR

DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.DLA LAND.DLA LAND COLUMBUS.DLA WEAPONS SUPPORT · Response deadline: Fri, 23 Oct 2026

What the government is buying

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is procuring a block assembly, ejector—a mechanical component typically used in weapons systems or ammunition handling equipment. This falls under DLA Weapons Support's mission of supplying spare and repair parts for military weapons systems.

Ejector block assemblies are precision-machined mechanical components that form part of the firing or extraction mechanism in certain weapons. DLA Land Columbus typically manages industrial hardware and mechanical components for ground systems. The specific technical requirements, acceptance criteria, and drawings for this part are not provided in the notice metadata; see the solicitation for detailed specifications, packaging requirements, and quality standards.

Key facts

NAICS 336413 is "Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing," though DLA frequently uses this code broadly for mechanical components and hardware. The classification code 10 indicates a supply contract for parts or hardware rather than services or construction.

Who can bid

This opportunity is 100% set aside for small businesses. To compete, your business must:

• Qualify as small under NAICS 336413 size standards (currently 1,250 employees for this code)
• Be registered in SAM.gov with active status
• Have the required CAGE code
• Meet any additional DLA qualifications specified in the full solicitation

No specific socioeconomic certifications (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB) are required beyond small business status. If you are a non-small business, you are ineligible to bid as prime but may explore subcontracting opportunities.

How to put together a competitive bid

DLA mechanical parts solicitations emphasize price, delivery, and technical compliance. Focus your bid preparation on:

• Technical compliance: Obtain the applicable drawings, specifications, and source control documents referenced in the solicitation. DLA mechanical parts often require compliance with military standards (MIL-SPEC) or commercial item descriptions.
• Quality system: Ensure your facility can meet any required quality certifications. DLA frequently requires ISO 9001 or AS9100 for mechanical components; see the solicitation for specific quality requirements.
• Source of supply: Document your manufacturing capability or legitimate supply chain. DLA scrutinizes sources for mechanical components to prevent counterfeit or non-conforming parts.
• Past performance: Be prepared to demonstrate relevant experience manufacturing similar mechanical assemblies or DLA supply contracts.
• Pricing: Research DLA's historical pricing through tools like FPDS or DLA's Customer Assistance Handbook. Consider tooling costs, material lead times, and inspection requirements.
• Packaging and marking: DLA has strict military packaging requirements (MIL-STD-2073). Factor packaging costs into your price; see the solicitation for the specific packaging level.
