Who can bid
This is an unrestricted solicitation with no small-business set-aside, meaning businesses of any size may compete. Manufacturers and distributors with experience in fluid filtration products, especially those familiar with defense supply chain requirements, are natural candidates.
To bid, your firm must be registered in SAM.gov (System for Award Management) with active registration through the anticipated award period. You will also need a valid CAGE code. If you plan to manufacture the item, ensure your facility can meet any applicable quality standards (such as ISO 9001 or military-specific requirements) that DLA may impose. Distributors should confirm whether the solicitation permits non-manufacturer sources or requires item delivery from an approved manufacturer.
How to put together a competitive bid
Research the item thoroughly. Search the solicitation number on SAM.gov and download all attachments, including the technical specification, drawings, and any applicable Military Standard (MIL-STD) or MIL-SPEC references. Cross-reference the National Stock Number (NSN) if provided to understand maintenance and demand history.
Source competitively. For manufacturing offers, evaluate raw material costs, machining or assembly labor, and any testing requirements. For distributors, confirm pricing and lead times with original equipment manufacturers. DLA often evaluates on price and delivery, so understanding realistic production and shipping timelines is critical.
Review DLA's terms. Pay attention to inspection requirements, packaging specifications (likely MIL-STD-2073 or commercial equivalents), and any warranty terms. DLA Maritime shipments typically go to government depots or directly to naval vessels—understand the routing and documentation requirements.
Prepare your quote carefully. Submit through the designated electronic portal as instructed in the solicitation. Include any required representations, certifications, and technical proposals. For unrestricted DLA solicitations, even small differences in unit price can determine award winners due to the competitive nature of the field.
