Who can bid
This opportunity is restricted to small businesses under NAICS 334220. To qualify, your business must meet the Small Business Administration size standard for this code—generally 1,250 employees for radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing.
You must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) with active status and have any required DLA qualifications. If you are not currently a DLA supplier, you may need to complete additional steps for defense logistics contracting.
Firms in the antenna manufacturing supply chain should note that DLA typically requires Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) compliance, including traceability and sourcing restrictions for certain components.
How to put together a competitive bid
Understand DLA's specific requirements: DLA Maritime procurements often involve military unique specifications (MIL-SPEC) or commercial items with military applications. Review the solicitation for the exact antenna type, frequency range, connector specifications, and any environmental testing requirements.
Check your manufacturing authority: Many DLA antenna awards flow through the DLA Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) or require specific manufacturing certifications. Verify whether this item requires such qualification.
Evaluate your supply chain: For DFARS-covered items, specialty metals and certain electronic components must meet domestic sourcing requirements. Antenna assemblies may include qualifying country content restrictions—confirm your material origins comply.
Pricing strategy: DLA frequently awards using established pricing mechanisms. Compare the solicitation against existing DLA contracts or the DLA Strategic Materials Price Adjustment clause if applicable. Consider whether your firm can offer a cost-competitive delivered price to the specified destination.
Past performance: Highlight relevant delivery experience with DLA, other defense agencies, or comparable antenna production for ruggedized/military applications.
Small business certifications: If you hold additional certifications (HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB), verify whether they provide evaluation preferences even under a general small business set-aside.
