What they buy
DLA Land and Maritime supports land and sea weapon systems across the services. On the land side that means parts for trucks, tracked vehicles, and combat vehicles: bearings, gaskets, hydraulic components, brackets, and machined hardware. On the maritime side it means parts for ships and submarines: valves, pumps, fittings, and pipe hardware.
It is also the DLA lead for electronics. Connectors, semiconductors, resistors, capacitors, relays, switches, and batteries run through Columbus. Every item is managed by National Stock Number and many carry a military specification.
How they buy
Small buys post to DIBBS as automated requests for quotation, and many awards are made by the system. Larger buys and long-term contracts post on SAM.gov.
Items with steady demand tend to go on long-term contracts with a set price and ordering period. Electronic parts often cite a qualified products list or qualified manufacturers list, which limits who can supply them. Small business set-asides are common where the government holds the technical data.
How a small shop gets in
Register in SAM.gov and on DIBBS. Search by federal supply class for the kinds of items you make, then read the item description for source restrictions and data availability. Machined and fabricated hardware with open drawings is the easiest place to start.
If the part is source controlled, plan on a source approval request through DLA and the owning service. For mil-spec electronics, the path is qualification to the specification, which takes longer. Start with small quantities, ship on time, and keep your DIBBS profile current. The Land and Maritime small business office hosts outreach events and can direct you to a supplier specialist.
Mil-spec electronics usually need a listing
If the item cites a military specification with a qualified products list, only listed manufacturers or their authorized distributors can supply it. Check the specification before you quote.
