DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.DLA LAND.DLA LAND COLUMBUS.DLA WEAPONS SUPPORT · Response deadline: Mon, 09 Nov 2026

What the government is buying

DLA Land Columbus, part of the Defense Logistics Agency, is seeking an electrode assembly. Electrode assemblies are components used in electrical systems, typically to conduct current between metallic and nonmetallic parts of a circuit. In defense applications, such items may support weapons systems, vehicles, or other electrical equipment maintained by DLA's weapons support operations. The classification code 61 corresponds to electrical and electronic equipment components. Specific technical requirements, quantities, and performance specifications for this electrode assembly are not provided in the notice metadata—see the solicitation.

Key facts

Note: NAICS 335910 covers establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing storage batteries, including component parts. The government may classify electrode assemblies under this code when procured as battery-related components. The place of performance was not included in the posted metadata—see the solicitation for delivery requirements.

Who can bid

This opportunity is set aside for SBA Certified Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs) under FAR 19.15. To compete, your firm must:

• Be a small business per the size standard for NAICS 335910
• Be at least 51% unconditionally owned and controlled by one or more women who are U.S. citizens
• Have SBA WOSB certification in the new WOSB/EDWOSB certification system (beta.SBA.gov) or have a previously approved self-certification on file if transition rules apply
• Be registered in SAM.gov with active status and represent your WOSB status in your profile

Joint ventures may be eligible if structured per SBA regulations and the managing venturer is a certified WOSB. Economically disadvantaged WOSBs (EDWOSBs) may also bid; this is a WOSB set-aside, not exclusively EDWOSB.

How to put together a competitive bid

DLA Land opportunities typically emphasize price and past performance for standard commercial items. Consider these steps:

Verify your certification. Confirm your WOSB certification is current in SBA's system and reflected in SAM.gov. DLA contracting officers verify certification before award.

Review the solicitation for technical data. Electrode assemblies in this NAICS often require conformance to military specifications (MIL-SPEC) or defense standards. Obtain any referenced specifications through the DLA Document Services or assist.dla.mil.

Assess supply chain and manufacturing capability. If you don't manufacture electrode assemblies directly, evaluate subcontracting arrangements. WOSBs must perform the primary and vital requirements or manage the work; excessive subcontracting can jeopardize eligibility.

Analyze DLA's pricing history. Search DIBBS (DLA Internet Bid Board System) for historical awards under similar National Stock Numbers or part numbers. DLA frequently buys on a fixed-price basis for such items.

Prepare your quote format. Combined Synopsis/Solicitation notices often allow immediate quotation through DIBBS or email per solicitation instructions. Include required representations, including WOSB status, in your response.

Check for passive RFID and military packaging requirements. DLA shipments frequently require RFID compliance and military standard packaging—see the solicitation for applicability.
