DLA Land & Maritime RFQs (NAICS 334220): Antennas, an Antenna Coupler, and a Variable Attenuator

Executive takeaway

These are DLA Land & Maritime supply RFQs under NAICS 334220 focused on specific NSNs (antennas and an antenna coupler). The notices emphasize that hard copies aren’t available, specifications/drawings are not available, and quotes must be submitted electronically. That combination usually rewards vendors who already have sourcing lined up for the exact approved part numbers (or can demonstrate they’re offering an approved source item). Two antenna RFQs share the same response deadline, which makes this a good moment to batch your sourcing outreach and quote build.

What the buyer is trying to do

DLA is replenishing inventory for specific NSNs by buying small quantities of defined radio-frequency components and routing them to DLA Distribution locations. For the antenna line items, the notices identify approved sources and part numbers, and provide required quantities plus delivery timelines expressed in days ADO.

What work is implied (bullets)

• Review each RFQ package when available online (the notices state the solicitation will be available at the link provided).
• Confirm you can supply the exact NSN/approved source item referenced (the notices list approved source CAGEs and part numbers for three of the four notices).
• Build an electronic quote for the line item quantities (e.g., antennas in quantities of 6 and 84; coupler in quantity of 6).
• Plan fulfillment to the specified DLA Distribution destinations (e.g., Warner Robins; W1A8 DLA Distribution is also referenced).
• Validate the delivery requirement stated in days ADO for each line item.
• For the notice with no description snippet available, verify scope and requirements in the posting/attachments.

Who should bid / who should pass (bullets)

• Bid if you are an approved source (or can supply the approved-source item) for the cited NSNs/part numbers and can meet the quantity and delivery window.
• Bid if you are a distributor/reseller with a reliable supply chain for the exact approved part numbers listed in the notices.
• Bid if you are comfortable with DLA RFQ quoting, electronic submission, and shipping to DLA Distribution locations.
• Pass if you require drawings/specifications to manufacture or reverse-engineer; the notices explicitly say specifications, plans, or drawings are not available.
• Pass if you cannot source the approved items (or cannot verify acceptability) within the ADO delivery timelines.

Response package checklist (bullets; if unknown say 'verify in attachments')

• Electronic quote submission (required per the notices).
• Line item pricing for the stated quantities (EA units for the listed line items).
• Confirmation you’re quoting the correct NSN and the correct approved source part number (where provided).
• Delivery commitment aligned to the stated “By: ____ DAYS ADO” requirement.
• Shipping/delivery location acknowledgment (e.g., DLA Distribution Warner Robins; W1A8 DLA Distribution), as applicable.
• Any standard DLA RFQ representations/certifications and invoice/shipping terms (verify in attachments).
• Any packaging/marking requirements (verify in attachments).

Pricing & strategy notes (how to research pricing; do not invent pricing numbers)

Because these are NSN-centric buys with approved sources listed, your pricing strategy should start with supply chain validation and lead-time realism, then work backward to an executable unit price.

• Source the exact part number: the antenna and coupler notices list approved-source CAGEs and part numbers; use those to confirm availability and distributor pricing from your channels.
• Quote defensibly on lead time: the notices specify delivery in days ADO (e.g., 0122, 0137, 0139 days ADO). Confirm your supplier can support that before sharpening price.
• Batch similar RFQs: two antenna RFQs share the same response deadline. If you can quote both, consolidate supplier outreach and freight assumptions to reduce internal estimating time.
• Be careful with alternates: the notices emphasize approved sources. If you are not quoting an approved part, validate whether the RFQ allows alternates (verify in attachments) before investing time.

Subcontracting / teaming ideas (bullets)

• Partner with an established authorized distributor for the cited approved-source part numbers to reduce authenticity and lead-time risk.
• Use a logistics/fulfillment partner experienced with DLA Distribution shipments if you don’t routinely ship to DLA depots.
• If you are an approved manufacturer but not strongest in government quoting, team with a small-business prime that regularly responds to DLA RFQs (verify set-aside eligibility per notice).

Risks & watch-outs (bullets)

• No drawings/specs available: the notices state specifications, plans, or drawings are not available—this is a major constraint for non-approved manufacturers.
• Approved source constraints: three notices explicitly list approved sources; confirm your quote matches what’s acceptable under the RFQ terms (verify in attachments).
• Electronic-only workflow: hard copies are not available; ensure your team can access the online RFQ and submit electronically by the deadline.
• Deadline management: multiple RFQs are due on the same date/time; avoid last-day submission issues.
• One notice lacks a description snippet: requirements for the variable attenuator posting must be confirmed in the notice/attachments.
