What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support is soliciting bids for filter assemblies under classification code 17 (Construction, Mining, Excavation, and Highway Maintenance Equipment). NAICS code 333120 covers Construction Machinery Manufacturing, which includes manufacturers of heavy-duty filtration components used in construction, mining, and military equipment.
Filter assemblies in this category typically remove contaminants from fuel, oil, air, or hydraulic systems to protect engine and equipment performance. DLA Troop Support manages the global supply chain for military services, meaning these components likely support operational readiness for defense equipment worldwide. See the solicitation for specific technical requirements, quantities, and delivery schedules.

Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no set-aside designation, meaning any qualified business—large or small—may submit a bid. Manufacturers and suppliers with capabilities in construction machinery components are eligible. Small businesses registered in SAM.gov with applicable NAICS 333120 in their profile may participate.
DLA supply contracts typically require:
- Active SAM.gov registration
- Acceptable past performance record
- Ability to meet technical specifications and quality standards (often including military or commercial specs)
- Production capacity for defense-level demand
If you are a small manufacturer of industrial filtration products, this opportunity is directly accessible without socioeconomic certification requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
For construction machinery filter assemblies, focus your proposal on these elements:
Technical compliance: Obtain the full specification from the solicitation. Defense filter assemblies typically reference military standards (MIL-STD) or specific OEM requirements. Confirm your product meets exact dimensional, media, and performance ratings. Any deviation requires pre-approved equivalency documentation.
Quality systems: DLA suppliers generally need ISO 9001 certification or equivalent quality management systems. Verify whether specific welding, testing, or traceability requirements apply.
Pricing strategy: Research DLA's historical pricing for similar National Stock Numbers (NSNs). Full and open competition means pricing pressure from large manufacturers; emphasize total value including reliability, shorter lead times, or superior warranty terms.
Supply chain resilience: Demonstrate secure sourcing for filter media, housings, and gaskets. Tariff exposure and raw material volatility affect this sector—address mitigation plans.
Past performance: Reference comparable defense or heavy equipment contracts, especially with DLA, other military components, or Tier-1 construction equipment OEMs.
