What the government is buying
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime for windows, vehicular equipment. This type of procurement typically involves replacement windows or glazing components designed for military or government vehicles rather than architectural building windows. DLA Land and Maritime serves as the primary logistics support provider for land and maritime weapons systems, managing spare parts and sustainment materials. The product classification code 25 confirms this falls under DLA's grouping for vehicular equipment and components.

NAICS 332999—All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing—is a catch-all classification for metal products not classified elsewhere. This covers fabricated metal components including vehicular windows with metal frames, armored glass assemblies, or specialty glazing with metal hardware.
Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no set-aside program specified. Any responsible business capable of meeting the technical requirements may bid, including large businesses. Small businesses registered in SAM.gov under NAICS 332999 with the appropriate size standard (see SBA size standards for this code) remain eligible to compete. Given DLA's supply-chain role, previous government contracting experience and an active SAM registration are typically essential.
How to put together a competitive bid
- Verify your SAM registration is active and includes NAICS 332999; DLA generally requires vendors to be registered before submission
- Request the full technical specifications through the solicitation documents, as vehicular windows may require ballistic resistance, environmental sealing, or specific military vehicle compatibility standards
- Assess your manufacturing certifications: DLA automotive/vehicular items may require compliance with military specifications (MIL-SPEC), AIA/NAS standards, or OEM equivalency approvals
- Evaluate your supply chain for raw materials—specialty glass, armored materials, or metal framing components may have long lead times affecting pricing and delivery commitments
- Consider DLA's history with this item: search SAM.gov contract data for previous awards under similar NSNs or classification code 25 to understand competitive pricing patterns
- Review Quality Assurance requirements typically found in DLA solicitations, which may include first article testing or source inspection provisions
- Factor in packaging and labeling requirements per MIL-STD-129 or DLA's specific Military Packaging standards, which can significantly affect costs
- Examine the Delivery Schedule carefully—DLA often requires multiple delivery destinations or may designate specific depots
