Based on market research this item is manufactured for military use only and is not commercial; therefore, the Government is not using the policies contained in FAR Part 12 in its solicitation for this item.

This solicitation will be available on the Internet at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil// after the issue date of 09/30/2026.  Due to system constraints, it may take as long as 3 business days from the stated issue date for the solicitation to post to DIBBS.  Hard copies of this solicitation are not available.  While price may be a significant factor in the evaluation of offers, proposals will be evaluated according to “best value” procedures on the basis of Price, Past Performance, and Delivery.  All offers shall be in English and in US dollars.

One or more of the items under this acquisition may be subject to an Agreement on Government Procurement approved and implemented in the US by the Trade Agreements Act of 1979.

DLA has enhanced its Joint Certification Program (JCP) registration and validation procedures.  Selected National Stock Numbers (NSNs) will require additional permissions to access the associated technical data.

In the event a vendor cannot access the technical data for a NSN in DLA cFolders, the vendor must submit a onetime request to jcpvalidation@dla.mil for technical data access consideration.  If a vendor has inquiries after having submitted required information to the JCP office, these inquiries are to be directed to DLAJ344DataCustodian@dla.mil.

DLA processes the vendor's technical data request on a first come, first served basis.  Failure to comply timely with required information may result in lack of consideration for DLA solicitations.  It is vitally important that vendors provide correct company official name(s) and contact information in all correspondence.  DLA will work diligently on validating vendor requests.  Vendors will be notified within three business days of when their requests were approved.  However, DLA cannot guarantee that it can complete all validation requests by the due date for any solicitation responses. 

Technical drawings/bid sets are available after the issue date on the Internet at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/ through ‘cFolders’ under the ‘Technical Data’ tab.  Requests should include the RFP number, opening/closing date, NSN, PR number, buyer’s name and your complete name and address.  FEDERAL, MILITARY AND COMMERCIAL SPECIFICATIONS CANNOT BE PROVIDED BY DSCC.  Interested parties may obtain copies of Military and Federal Specifications and Standards, Qualified Products Lists, Military Handbooks, and other standardization documents from the DoD Single Stock Point (DODSSP), in Philadelphia, PA.  Most documents are available in Adobe PDF format from the ASSIST-Quick Search and in most cases can be downloaded directly via the Internet using standard browser software.  Documents not available for downloading from ASSIST can be ordered from the DODSSP using the ASSIST Shipping Wizard after establishing a DODSSP Customer Account by following the registration procedures or by phoning the DODSSP Special Assistance Desk at (215)697-6396/6257 (DSN:  442-6396/6257).  Users without access to the Internet may contact:
