Who can bid
This opportunity is strictly set aside for SBA Certified Women-Owned Small Businesses under the WOSB Program (FAR 19.15). To compete, your firm must:
- Be at least 51% unconditionally owned and controlled by one or more women who are U.S. citizens
- Be certified in the SAM.gov system as a WOSB or EDWOSB (Economically Disadvantaged WOSB)
- Meet the size standard for NAICS 332312—currently 500 employees
- Have the applicable North American Industry Classification System code in your SAM entity registration
If you are not currently WOSB-certified, you must complete certification through SBA's Certify.SBA.gov system or via an SBA-approved third-party certifier before submitting a bid. Self-certification alone is insufficient for set-aside competitions.
Certification must be active and reflected in SAM.gov by the response deadline of November 12, 2026.
How to put together a competitive bid
For DLA supply contracts under set-aside programs, focus on these practical elements:
Technical compliance: DLA solicitations typically require strict adherence to military specifications (MIL-STD, MIL-PRF, or MIL-DTL), national stock numbers (NSNs), and approved supplier lists. Obtain the full solicitation to identify exact part numbers, material certifications, and testing requirements. Missing a drawing revision or material callout is a common reason for rejection.
Past performance documentation: Have ready your record of delivering similar fabricated metal products to DLA, other defense agencies, or commercial clients with comparable quality requirements. Include contactable references and any ISO 9001 or AS9100 certifications.
Pricing strategy: DLA uses automated tools to evaluate price reasonableness. Research previous awards for similar NSNs using FPDS or DLA's Customer Assistance Handbook. Account for material volatility—steel and alloy prices fluctuate significantly—and consider whether to include economic price adjustment clauses if permitted.
Small business requirements: Ensure your WOSB status documentation, subcontracting plan (if over $750,000), and any required representations are current in SAM.gov. DLA may require a WOSB eligibility examination as part of award.
Proposal mechanics: Combined synopsis/solicitations often use simplified acquisition procedures. Submit through SAM.gov before the deadline; late submissions are inadmissible. Confirm receipt of all amendments.
