How to put together a competitive bid
Understand DLA's operating model. DLA Troop Support often awards contracts for stockage in the supply system or direct delivery to military installations. Clarify whether this is a spot buy, scheduled delivery, or indefinite delivery vehicle by reviewing the full solicitation.
Review technical requirements carefully. Parking light fixtures may reference federal or military specifications for weather resistance, vandal resistance, photometric performance, or energy efficiency. Obtain referenced specs from ASSIST or cited sources.
Address Source of Supply and traceability. DLA typically requires domestic or qualifying country sources for certain components, and may invoke Berry Amendment or Buy American Act provisions. Verify country of origin for lamps, housings, and electronic components.
Pricing strategy. DLA contracts often emphasize price competitiveness given automated competition. Analyze historical pricing for similar National Stock Numbers (NSNs) if applicable. Consider DLA's standard terms: net 30 payment, FOB destination typical for Troop Support.
Past performance. Be prepared to document relevant commercial or government experience manufacturing and delivering similar lighting products.
Packaging and marking. DLA has specific military packaging requirements (MIL-STD-2073) that may apply depending on delivery destination.
