How do I bid on DLA DIBBS purchase requests as a small reseller?

Short answer: Register in SAM.gov and get a CAGE code, then use the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) at dibbs.bsm.dla.mil to search requests for quotation (RFQs) by NSN or part number and submit a price. Most are small purchases that go to the lowest compliant price. Items with restricted technical data may also require a JCP (DD Form 2345) certification.

Steps

1. Complete your SAM.gov registration; you will receive a CAGE code.
2. Create a DIBBS account and accept the DoD consent banner.
3. Search RFQs by NSN, FSC or solicitation number. Each RFQ shows quantity, delivery, inspection and packaging terms.
4. Find a source: a manufacturer or authorized distributor. Many DIBBS items need a quote from the approved source.
5. Quote price and delivery before the closing date. See what an RFQ is.

Reality check

DIBBS is price-driven and competitive. Know your landed cost before you quote, check the required inspection and acceptance points, and read the Buy American and country-of-origin clauses. XL Eagle quotes DIBBS items as a prime; send us a price on one you can supply.
