Who can bid
This opportunity is set aside 100% for small businesses under the Small Business Set Aside - Total program. To qualify, your business must:
- Be certified as small under NAICS 333241 ($30 million revenue-based size standard, per SBA regulations)
- Register in SAM.gov (System for Award Management) with active status
- Have the NAICS code 333241 in your SAM profile
- Meet any additional DLA contractor responsibility requirements
Manufacturers, distributors, and dealers of commercial foodservice equipment may be eligible if they meet the small business size standard. If you are a non-manufacturer, you may need to comply with the non-manufacturer rule, requiring you to supply a product manufactured by a small business in the U.S. Verify your size status and SAM registration well before the deadline.
How to put together a competitive bid
For DLA commercial-item foodservice equipment procurements, focus on these elements:
- Commercial item determination: Ensure your oven meets commercial specifications and is sold to the general public. Prepare technical literature, model numbers, and proof of commercial availability.
- DLA Tailored Logistics Support Program: Understand if this procurement falls under TLS requirements for provisioning, technical data, or depot support.
- Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance: Verify your product's country of origin meets TAA requirements; DLA generally cannot procure from non-TAA designated countries.
- Packaging and marking: Military shipments require specific labeling per MIL-STD-129; factor any special packaging costs into your pricing.
- Past performance documentation: Highlight prior DLA or federal foodservice equipment deliveries, especially combi ovens.
- Pricing strategy: Combined synopsis/solicitations often use simplified acquisition procedures; competitive pricing is critical, but ensure you understand the full transportation and delivery terms.
