DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.DLA MARITIME.DLA MARITIME COLUMBUS.DLA WEAPONS SUPPORT · Response deadline: Thu, 12 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
DLA Maritime Columbus is procuring a microcircuit, linear—a type of integrated circuit used in electronic systems. Linear microcircuits are analog devices that process continuous signals, commonly found in power management, amplification, signal conditioning, and control applications across military platforms. This acquisition falls under DLA Weapons Support's role in sustaining defense weapon systems through the distribution of electronic components.
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) manages the military's supply chain for critical spare parts and components, including semiconductors and microelectronics that support weapons systems, platforms, and infrastructure. See the solicitation for specific part numbers, technical specifications, quantities, and delivery requirements.

Who can bid
This opportunity is reserved for small businesses only under a total small business set-aside. To qualify, your business must:
- Meet SBA size standards for NAICS 334413 (currently 1,250 employees for this code)
- Be registered and verified in SAM.gov (System for Award Management)
- Have an active DUNS/UEI number and appropriate representations and certifications
- Satisfy any DLA supplier qualification requirements
Familiarity with defense logistics processes—such as MIL-STD-883 testing, DLA's Qualified Products List (QPL), or Vendor Shipment Module (VSM) procedures—will be advantageous. See the solicitation for any mandatory source qualifications, QPL requirements, or testing certifications needed for this specific microcircuit.
How to put together a competitive bid
Focus on these elements for electronics supply to DLA:
Technical compliance: Ensure your product meets the exact military drawing or specification cited. Linear microcircuits for defense applications typically require military-grade screening (Class B or S) or equivalent commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) qualifications. See the solicitation for the specific standard.
Traceability and counterfeit avoidance: DLA places heavy emphasis on supply chain integrity. Document your parts' provenance, obsolescence management, and compliance with SAE AS5553 or DFARS 252.246-7007 counterfeit detection requirements.
Past performance: Highlight prior DLA or defense electronics contracts, especially for microcircuits or similar components under FSC 5962.
Pricing strategy: DLA often uses automated procurement tools with historical pricing data. Research DLA's EMALL or previous awards for comparable NSNs. Consider offering economic order quantity (EOQ) pricing if the solicitation allows.
Delivery and packaging: Confirm ability to meet MIL-STD-129 packaging and labeling requirements and any specified delivery schedules.
