Who can bid
This opportunity is reserved for small businesses only, as a total small business set-aside. To compete, your business must:
- Meet the SBA size standard for NAICS 333310 (see the solicitation or SBA.gov for the applicable employee or revenue threshold)
- Be registered in SAM.gov with active registration valid through at least the response deadline
- Have the appropriate NAICS code in your SAM.gov profile
- Be able to meet any required delivery schedule and technical specifications
Manufacturers of commercial laundry equipment are the most likely eligible bidders. Non-manufacturer small businesses may bid if they meet SBA non-manufacturer waiver rules, including the use of another domestic small business to perform 50% or more of manufacturing cost, where applicable.
How to put together a competitive bid
Source the right units. The solicitation likely specifies capacity, voltage, power requirements, and physical dimensions. Commercial-grade washer-dryer combos for military use typically require durability certifications and may need to meet energy efficiency or Buy American Act requirements. Verify whether the equipment must be new or if remanufactured units are acceptable.
Price strategically. DLA often evaluates on lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) for commercial items. Obtain firm quotes from your supply chain early. Factor in packaging, freight to the government's designated destination, and any contract administration costs.
Confirm your small business status. Review your SBA size standard and any affiliation rules that might affect eligibility. If you are close to the size threshold, recalculate carefully.
Prepare required representations. DLA solicitations typically require FAR 52.212-3 representations and certifications, small business representations, and various socio-economic certifications if applicable. Complete these accurately in SAM.gov before submission.
Review delivery requirements. Military supply contracts often have strict delivery windows and may require shipments to multiple depots or direct to installations. Confirm whether you must use DLA's Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) for invoicing and receipt.
