DLA bid/no-bid desk

Know if you can win a DLA part before you spend hours quoting it.

Paste an NSN or solicitation number and, within 1 business day, get a short memo that tells you whether to bid, built from DLA's own catalog data and reviewed by a person.

Sourcing suppliers instead? Build a defensible source list

For resellers and small shops quoting DLA parts on DIBBS, DLA's bid board. Onboarding the first 10 bidders. Not affiliated with DLA. The solicitation always governs.

What each memo tells you

  • Bid or no-bid: whether a new supplier can win the part
  • Who controls the design
  • DLA's catalog price (not an award price)
  • The paperwork the solicitation asks for, when you send it
  • Shops in our directory that could make the part

If any code, CAGE or price in a memo doesn't match the DLA PUB LOG release it cites, or it arrives after 1 business day, your next month is free, including on your free first memo. Limited to the first 10 bidders. Covers Federal Supply Groups 15, 16, 17 and 30.

New: supplier intelligence for procurement teams

Build defensible aerospace and defense supplier shortlists.

Move beyond directory search with CAGE/UEI, SAM.gov, AS9100, ITAR, capability, material, location, and federal award signals in one evidence-backed source list.

Web app, CSV/PDF export, API, and future MCP access.

Explore supplier intelligence

Supplier discovery should not be a spreadsheet scavenger hunt.

Your team is expected to find compliant, capable, U.S.-based suppliers under program pressure. Google results, stale vendor lists, and self-reported cert claims are not enough when sourcing, quality, and capture all need a defensible answer.

MachineShop.Directory V2 turns fragmented manufacturing data into ranked, evidence-backed source lists.

Built for the moments sourcing gets reactive

Second sources

Incumbent is late, expensive, or capacity-constrained

Compliance pressure

CMMC/DFARS review, AS9100 or customer audit prep

Proposal deadlines

Small-business and subcontractor evidence, under the gun

Counts are read from the live directory. They describe records, not current supplier approvals.

Verification You Can Check Yourself

Identity and certifications are separate checks. Registry-confirmed credentials and self-reported claims are labelled separately. Confirm current scope and expiry with the supplier.

Check identity and certification evidence on individual profiles:

CAGE Verified
SAM.gov

See why every supplier made the list

Each recommendation carries the evidence sourcing, quality, and capture teams need to include — or reject — a shop with confidence.

Identity

CAGE, UEI, SAM.gov registration, and address — the signals that prove a company is real and registered.

Fit

Capability, material, industry, and geography matched against the actual requirement — not just a NAICS code.

Compliance

AS9100, ISO, ITAR, NADCAP, and CMMC signals surfaced before you invite a shop to RFQ.

Market proof

Federal awards and contracting agencies that show a shop has won relevant work.

Confidence

Source links, data freshness, gaps, and the questions to ask before RFQ — so the evidence, not the AI, is the product.

Export anywhere

Ship the shortlist as CSV, PDF, API, or MCP into Coupa, SAP Ariba, JAGGAER, Exostar, ERP, or QMS.
