DLA Land & Maritime: Seven NAICS 336390 vehicle-component RFQs (Automated IDC potential) due Feb 25

Executive takeaway

DLA Land & Maritime posted a tight cluster of seven RFQs in the same NAICS (336390) for small, discrete vehicle-related components (mostly NSNs in the 2530/2540 families), all due 2026-02-25. Multiple notices indicate the buy may result in an Automated IDC (Indefinite Delivery Contract) with a one-year term (or until an aggregate $350,000 order threshold is reached), plus stated guaranteed minimum quantities and estimated annual order counts. If you already manufacture/distribute the exact approved part numbers (or can quote as an approved source), these are straightforward, repeat-order style opportunities—assuming you can meet the stated delivery timelines and ship to DLA depots supporting CONUS and OCONUS flows.

What the buyer is trying to do

The buyer is replenishing DLA-managed supply for specific NSNs with defined quantities on an initial line item, and a recurring order structure implied through potential Automated IDC language. Items are to be shipped to various DLA depots (including pathways supporting OCONUS via consolidation/containerization points). Each notice emphasizes electronic quoting and notes that hard-copy solicitations are not available.

The seven opportunities in this set:

• SPE7LX26U3772: INSERT,HUB CAP,VEHI (NSN 2530-01-613-6955)
• SPE7LX26U3785: BLADE,WINDSHIELD WI (NSN 2540-99-794-7495) (SBA)
• SPE7LX26U3723: GUARD,SPLASH,VEHICU (NSN 2540-01-377-3121) (SBA)
• SPE7LX26U3745: HANDLE,DOOR,VEHICUL (NSN 2540-01-607-9856) (SBA)
• SPE7LX26U3709: PAD,PEDAL (NSN 2540-01-390-1042) (SBA)
• SPE7LX26U3655: HORN BUTTON,VEHICLE (NSN 2530-01-564-8751) (SBA)
• SPE7LX26U3690: DIAPHRAGM CHAMBER A (NSN 2540-00-114-4180) (SBA)

What work is implied (bullets)

• Prepare and submit an electronic quote for the specified NSN line item(s) by the response deadline.
• Confirm whether you are an approved source where approved sources are stated (some notices list specific source CAGE/part references).
• Plan for depot shipments to various CONUS locations and potential OCONUS supply paths via consolidation/containerization points.
• Meet stated delivery expectations expressed as days ADO (varies by item: e.g., 67, 70, 76, 81, 95, 107, 140 days ADO depending on the notice).
• Account for the potential award structure: an Automated IDC with a one-year term or until aggregate orders reach $350,000, with guaranteed minimum quantities and estimated orders per year (as stated per notice).
• Where available, retrieve any digitized drawings / military specifications and standards electronically (only stated for some items).

Who should bid / who should pass (bullets)

Who should bid

• Manufacturers or distributors already able to supply the exact NSNs listed, especially where your offering aligns with a stated approved source reference.
• Small businesses targeting SBA set-aside supply awards (applies to six of the seven notices in this cluster).
• Firms set up for recurring DLA fulfillment: electronic quoting, packaging/shipping readiness, and depot delivery execution within stated ADO timelines.

Who should pass

• Firms that cannot meet ADO delivery windows or cannot ship to the stated DLA depot network supporting CONUS/OCONUS flows.
• Suppliers relying on detailed technical data when the notice states specifications/plans/drawings are not available (several items explicitly say this).
• Firms that are not an approved source (or cannot otherwise quote compliantly) for items with explicitly stated approved sources.

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

• Completed RFQ response for the solicitation number (verify in attachments).
• Line-item pricing for the stated quantity and unit of issue (EA), consistent with the NSN description (verify in attachments).
• Delivery commitment aligned to the stated days ADO for the specific item (verify in attachments).
• Source/part identification supporting approved-source requirements where stated (verify in attachments).
• Confirmation that quote is submitted electronically via the method required in the solicitation (verify in attachments).
• Any required representations/certifications typically associated with the RFQ package (verify in attachments).

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

Because several notices indicate a potential Automated IDC with an aggregate order ceiling and recurring orders per year, pricing strategy should balance competitive unit pricing with your true cost-to-serve for multi-drop depot fulfillment.

• Use each NSN and solicitation number to look up prior award context and buying patterns (when available through your internal tools and public award histories).
• Benchmark packaging, handling, and distribution costs for CONUS plus OCONUS pipeline shipments (via consolidation/containerization points) rather than treating this as a single-ship commercial order.
• Validate whether the item is constrained by approved sources (listed on some notices). If constrained, model the risk of limited sourcing options and lead-time volatility.
• For items where drawings/specs are not available, price in the operational risk of returns/rejections only if your internal controls indicate uncertainty—otherwise keep pricing tight and rely on known part equivalency controls.

Subcontracting / teaming ideas (bullets)

• Team with a fulfillment partner experienced in shipping to DLA depots and handling consolidation/containerization routing for OCONUS flows.
• For items with stated approved sources, consider teaming directly with (or sourcing through) an authorized channel that can document compliance (verify allowable arrangements in the solicitation).
• Pair a small business prime (for SBA set-asides) with a specialized packaging/logistics subcontractor to protect schedule against ADO commitments.

Risks & watch-outs (bullets)

• Data availability varies: multiple notices state that specifications/plans/drawings are not available; others say digitized drawings and military specs may be retrieved electronically.
• Approved-source constraints: some items list approved sources; quoting without proper alignment can lead to rejection (verify exact language in each RFQ).
• IDC mechanics: several notices describe a one-year term or until aggregate orders reach $350,000, plus guaranteed minimums and estimated order counts—ensure your capacity and inventory approach fits a variable ordering pattern.
• Shipping complexity: “various CONUS and OCONUS” destinations via depot pathways can introduce variability in lead times and handling requirements (verify packing/shipping clauses in attachments).
• Electronic-only workflow: hard copies are not available; ensure your submission process is ready well before the deadline.

How to act on this

1. Open each BidPulsar notice link and pull the RFQ package (attachments/details) for submission instructions (electronic-only).
2. Confirm approved-source status (where stated) and your ability to meet the specific days ADO delivery expectation for that NSN.
3. Build a quote that reflects depot distribution realities (CONUS plus OCONUS pipeline), then submit ahead of the 2026-02-25 deadline.
