DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.DLA MARITIME.DLA MARITIME COLUMBUS.DLA WEAPONS SUPPORT · Response deadline: Mon, 02 Nov 2026

What the government is buying

DLA Weapons Support is seeking an ohmmeter, a device used to measure electrical resistance. Ohmmeters are essential test instruments in maintenance, repair, and quality assurance operations for electrical and electronic systems. DLA Maritime locations like this one typically support Navy and other military vessel programs with spare parts and test equipment.

This is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation, meaning the notice serves as both the announcement of the opportunity and the formal solicitation document—vendors can respond directly without waiting for a separate solicitation release.

Key facts

Note on NAICS: Code 334514 covers instrument manufacturing, including testing equipment like ohmmeters, though the official industry title refers to fluid meters. The primary size standard for this code is typically 750 employees—see the solicitation for any applicable exceptions or alternate standards.

Who can bid

This opportunity is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns, as implemented under FAR 19.14. To qualify, your business must:

• Be at least 51% unconditionally and directly owned by one or more service-disabled veterans
• Have one or more service-disabled veterans manage day-to-day operations and make long-term decisions
• Have the service-connected disability rated by VA or military service
• Meet SBA size standards for NAICS 334514
• Be verified in the SAM.gov system for government contracting and self-represent as an SDVOSB

Joint ventures and mentor-protégé arrangements may participate under specific SDVOSB program rules—see the solicitation for any stated limitations.

How to put together a competitive bid

For DLA test equipment solicitations, focus on these elements:

Technical compliance: Ohmmeters must meet military or commercial specifications referenced in the solicitation. Verify whether the government requires specific accuracy ranges, measurement capabilities, or conformance to standards such as MIL-PRF or NIST traceability. Provide model numbers, manufacturer, and datasheet references.

Past performance: DLA evaluates reliability of supply. If you have prior DLA or DOD sales of test equipment, highlight on-time delivery and fill rates. First-time DLA vendors should demonstrate relevant commercial or government experience with similar instrumentation.

Pricing structure: DLA typically evaluates on price after establishing technical acceptability. Review the quantity, unit of issue, and any delivery schedule. Consider whether the solicitation calls for indefinite-delivery terms, blanket purchase agreement structures, or a single delivery.

Small business certifications: Ensure your SAM registration reflects current SDVOSB status and that any required certifications in SAM are active before submission.

Packaging and marking: DLA has strict military packaging requirements. Determine whether the solicitation cites specific military packaging standards or commercial packaging alternatives.
