SECTION A

Offerors are encouraged to submit price break information with their quotes. Solicitations which are manually evaluated and awarded at increased quantities may be awarded based on the price break informationsubmitted with the offeror's original quotation without further solicitation or discussion.

If you anticipate quoting on a solicitation after the closing date, please submit a DIBBS quote with a bid type of “No Bid” and place an anticipated quote date or the reason you are not willing to quote. This does not prevent you from submitting an actual quote on DIBBS at a laterdate. It will overlay your previous no quote. This informs buyers of your intention to quote and prevents multiple calls for updates and cancelling of requirements assumed to be non-procurable due to no quotes/sources. The submission of an anticipated quote date does not preclude DLA from making an award to another acceptable timely offer.

DLA funds Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) to increase the number of U.S. businesses capable of bidding and performing on local, state, and federal government contracts. PTACs have government contracting experts available to assist suppliers at no cost. Visit our website to find your local PTAC:
