Lamp procurement through DLA typically involves standardized commercial items with military performance specifications or commercial equivalents that meet strict reliability and environmental standards for maritime use.

Who can bid
This opportunity is restricted to small businesses under the Total Small Business Set-Aside program. The NAICS code 335139 ("Other Lighting Equipment Manufacturing") carries a size standard that bidders must meet—generally 1,000 or 1,500 employees depending on specific product lines. Firms must be registered in SAM.gov, have active small business representations, and comply with DLA's supplier qualification requirements for the FSC 62 commodity area.
Eligible bidders should verify their small business status in SAM.gov and ensure their NAICS 335139 representation is current. DLA typically requires suppliers to meet Quality Assurance and technical qualification standards for electrical items; see the solicitation for specific approval requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
For electrical supply contracts, DLA uses automated quotation systems through DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) for many FSC 62 items. Check whether this solicitation requires submission through DIBBS or direct SAM.gov response.
Key preparation steps:
Review technical requirements: Incandescent lamps for military use may require compliance with MIL-PRF or MIL-DTL specifications, or commercial equivalents meeting vibration, shock, and temperature extremes for maritime environments. See the solicitation for exact specification numbers and testing requirements.
Supply chain and sourcing: Document your ability to source compliant lamps with traceable manufacturing. DLA often requires Country of Origin data and may restrict sources under the Berry Amendment or Buy American Act for certain applications.
Packaging and marking: DLA has strict Military Packaging requirements (MIL-STD-2073). Factor packaging costs into pricing and confirm whether unit or intermediate packaging is specified.
Past performance: Be prepared to document relevant lamp or lighting equipment delivery history, especially to DLA or Navy customers.
Price competitiveness: DLA awards typically on lowest technically acceptable price. Research historical pricing for similar NSNs through DLA's public procurement history.
