Who can bid
This opportunity is reserved entirely for small businesses under the Small Business Set Aside – Total program. To qualify, your business must be certified as small under NAICS 334519, which carries a size standard of 1,250 employees. You must also be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) with active status and appropriate representations.
Given the NAICS code, eligible bidders typically manufacture measuring, controlling, or indicate instruments not classified elsewhere—including temperature sensors and transmitters. If your firm produces industrial process control instruments, aerospace monitoring equipment, or similar electromechanical devices, this opportunity may align with your capabilities. You do not need to be the original manufacturer; small-business resellers or distributors may also qualify if they meet the solicitation's requirements for source of supply and traceability, which are common for DLA Aviation procurements of instrument-class items.
How to put together a competitive bid
Verify your SAM registration and size status. Confirm your SAM.gov profile reflects NAICS 334519 and that your representations are current; DLA will validate this before award.
Request the complete technical package. The synopsis alone does not contain specifications. Access the full solicitation through SAM.gov to obtain the item description, military or commercial specifications, applicable standards, and any inspection or test requirements.
Assess your supply chain for defense-grade temperature transmitters. DLA Aviation typically requires traceability to original manufacturers and may reference standards such as MIL-PRF or commercial equivalents. Determine whether you can source compliant product with acceptable lead times.
Price strategically. DLA solicitations often result in best-value awards considering price, delivery schedule, and past performance. Review historical pricing for similar FSC 66 items in the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) to benchmark. Factor in packaging, marking, and shipping to the designated DLA depot.
Address delivery and quality requirements. See the solicitation for exact delivery terms. Be prepared to meet DLA's Quality Assurance and packaging standards, which are standard for intricate instruments.
Submit through designated electronic system. DLA Aviation typically requires submission through DIBBS or the specified electronic portal, not email.
