“The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) is an essential web-based application for vendors looking to engage with military procurement. Through DIBBS, vendors can search for, view, and submit secure quotes on Requests for Quotations (RFQs) for various DLA items of supply. The system also facilitates access to Requests for Proposals (RFPs), Invitations for Bid (IFBs), and other related procurement information.”

“DIBBS is designed to streamline the procurement process by allowing vendors to interact directly with the DLA's vast array of solicitation. Each week, DIBBS posts over 10,000 new solicitations, making it a critical resource for suppliers interested in working with the Department of Defense. We provide comprehensive assistance throughout all stages of DIBBS participation—from registration, navigating the SAM, bid submissions and managing your profile.”

“Before you can use DIBBS, you must be registered in the SAM, and then you can create a DIBBS account, which also requires a separate registration. The platform is particularly user-friendly, offering functionalities like batch quoting, where quotes can be prepared offline and uploaded in a specific format. This streamlined approach not only simplifies the submission process but also enhances your ability to manage multiple bids efficiently.”

“For suppliers who are new to federal procurement or need additional guidance, DIBBS offers various resources and training opportunities. For instance, the PTAC provides free help with marketing products to the government, understanding requirements, and submitting bids. These resources are tailored to demystify the complexities of government contracts and enhance your capabilities to respond effectively.”
