45--DRAIN,FLOOR
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.TROOP SUPPORT CONSTRUCTION & EQUIPMENT.DLA TROOP SUPPORT · Response deadline: Mon, 09 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support is seeking drains, floor-type, for its supply chain. NAICS code 326191 corresponds to "Plastics Plumbing Fixture Manufacturing," indicating these are likely plastic or polymer-based floor drains used in plumbing and drainage systems. Floor drains are standard fixtures installed in floors to allow water drainage, commonly used in commercial kitchens, laundry facilities, mechanical rooms, restrooms, and other areas where water accumulation is a concern.
DLA Troop Support provides construction and equipment supplies to military services and federal agencies, so these drains likely support infrastructure maintenance, new construction, or repair projects at military installations or other government facilities.

Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no set-aside designation, meaning businesses of any size may submit offers. However, given the NAICS 326191 classification, manufacturers and distributors of plastic plumbing fixtures—including small businesses that produce or supply floor drains—should evaluate whether their products meet DLA's technical requirements.
If you are a small business manufacturer of plastic plumbing fixtures or a distributor with access to compliant products, you are eligible to compete. Non-manufacturer rule considerations may apply if you do not produce the items yourself; see the solicitation for any size standard or source verification requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
For DLA supply contracts, competitiveness depends on product compliance, pricing, and delivery reliability:
- Verify product specifications: DLA typically requires compliance with commercial or military standards. Confirm whether the drains must meet specific dimensional, load-bearing, material, or finish requirements (e.g., NSF/ANSI standards for drainage, ADA accessibility features, or corrosion resistance).
- Check existing DLA contracts: Research whether this item is already on a DLA Tailored Logistics Support program or other contract vehicle, as this may affect pricing expectations.
- Pricing strategy: Government buyers evaluate total evaluated price including shipping. Factor in DLA's FOB requirements and any mandatory sourcing rules under the Trade Agreements Act.
- Past performance: If you have prior DLA or federal delivery experience, highlight on-time delivery rates and quality acceptance records. New vendors should emphasize manufacturing certifications and capacity.
- Sam.gov registration and codes: Ensure your SAM.gov entity registration is active with NAICS 326191, and that any required representations and certifications are current.
- Inspection and acceptance: DLA Troop Support inspects goods upon receipt. Understand quality assurance requirements and warranty terms expected.
