Who can bid
This opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses certified as small under NAICS 336390. The Small Business Set-Aside - Total designation means only eligible small business concerns may submit offers; large businesses are excluded from competition.
To qualify, your business must:
- Meet the Small Business Administration's size standard for NAICS 336390 (typically 1,000 employees for this code)
- Be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) with active status
- Have any required small business certifications current and accurate in your SAM profile
If you are a small business participating in SBA contracting assistance programs (8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, or Women-Owned Small Business), you may bid provided you meet the size standard. However, this is a general small business set-aside, not a specific socioeconomic program set-aside.
DLA Land and Maritime frequently sources vehicle parts through small business channels to maintain diverse supply chains for military readiness. Prior experience with military specifications or DLA's ordering systems may strengthen your competitive position but is not strictly required to bid.
How to put together a competitive bid
Understand DLA's ordering mechanisms. This Combined Synopsis/Solicitation likely uses DLA's Long-Term Contract arrangement, possibly with indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) features common for recurring parts needs. Review whether this is a single-award or multiple-award contract vehicle.
Verify your technical qualifications. Rearview mirror arms for military vehicles must typically conform to specific military or commercial technical standards. Examine the solicitation for applicable drawings, performance specifications, and qualification requirements. You may need to provide first article test samples or existing test data.
Price strategically for the Defense Logistics Agency. DLA evaluates on price and past performance for many parts acquisitions. Understand your total delivered cost including物流 to DLA distribution points. Research historical pricing through DLA's Customer Interaction Center or transactional data if available.
Confirm your supply chain. Mirror arms may involve metallurgical specifications, protective coatings, or optical mounting interfaces. Validate that your suppliers and manufacturing processes can consistently meet any material or dimensional requirements specified.
Address packaging and marking requirements. DLA has strict marking standards for military shipments, including Military Shipping Labels and RFID compliance where applicable. Factor these costs into your pricing.
