What the government is buying
DLA Land Columbus is procuring a fuel tank for an engine. This falls under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 29, which covers engine accessories. The item is a tank, fuel, engine—a component that holds fuel for internal combustion engines, typically used in military vehicles, generators, or other powered equipment.
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) manages this acquisition through its Land and Maritime supply chain. DLA frequently sources replacement parts and subcomponents for military systems through streamlined acquisition methods rather than full formal solicitations.
For the NAICS 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing), this work involves manufacturing or supplying motor vehicle parts and accessories. Companies in this sector produce components ranging from engine parts to fuel system components for vehicles and equipment.

Who can bid
This is a total small business set-aside, meaning only small business concerns registered in SAM.gov may submit offers. To qualify, your business must meet SBA size standards for NAICS 336390. You must also demonstrate your small business status in your SAM entity registration, including any applicable socioeconomic certifications if you plan to utilize them.
This procurement uses a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation format, which signals DLA intends to make award without additional negotiations if it receives acceptable offers at reasonable prices. This is common for DLA's routine parts purchases.
You must be registered in SAM.gov with an active registration valid through the award period. Your registration must reflect NAICS 336390.
How to put together a competitive bid
Obtain the full solicitation immediately through SAM.gov or DLA's procurement systems—Combined Synopsis/Solicitations often include technical drawings, specifications, and delivery requirements critical to compliance.
Review technical requirements carefully for fuel tank specifications. DLA typically provides Military Standard or commercial item descriptions specifying material, dimensions, capacity, connections, and testing requirements. Deviations from exact specifications usually disqualify offers.
Confirm your manufacturing or supply capability against the required delivery schedule. Fuel tanks may require specialty fabrication, welding, or coating processes.
Evaluate your supply chain for raw materials and any subcontracting needs. If subcontracting, ensure you meet the limitations on subcontracting for small business set-asides (typically no more than 50% of the contract cost of personnel or manufacturing to non-similarly situated entities).
Price strategically for a simplified acquisition—DLA makes award based on lowest price technically acceptable methodology for many standard parts buys. Review DLA's historical pricing data if available through DLA's customer interaction center.
Submit through designated DLA channels, likely DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS), which the solicitation should specify.
