How to put together a competitive bid
For DLA Aviation supply contracts, focus on these elements:
Pricing and sourcing: DLA typically awards on lowest realistic price for exact-match items. Source your electrical conduit elbows from manufacturers that meet military or applicable commercial specifications. Research historical pricing for comparable National Stock Number (NSN) items in DLA's procurement history databases.
Technical compliance: Identify whether the solicitation references a specific NSN, manufacturer part number, or military specification (such as MIL-SPEC or A-A standards). Submit proof of compliance—certificates of conformance, test reports, or manufacturer documentation—with your bid.
Past performance: Be prepared to document experience supplying similar electrical components, particularly to DLA or other defense customers. If you're new to DLA, highlight commercial sales of comparable items.
Delivery reliability: DLA evaluates ability to meet required delivery dates. Demonstrate your supply chain capacity and inventory position for conduit elbows.
Packaging and marking: Defense logistics contracts have strict military packaging requirements (MIL-STD-2073). Factor these costs into your pricing.
