Market Pulse

A quick analyst read on seven newly posted opportunities—from service body installs on Ford F-550s to an RFP for relationship management software—plus who should bid, who should pass, and how to build a compliant response when details are in attachments.

USACE Caribbean District is signaling an upcoming A-E IDIQ for topographic and hydrographic surveying across Puerto Rico and the Antilles, with an Industry Day and optional one-on-ones. Meanwhile, several DLA Maritime RFQs and other quick-turn notices are open with tight deadlines and limited published detail—worth action only if you can move fast and match approved-source constraints.

A fast-moving set of small-business set-aside actions posted Jan 22, 2026—one VA shredding requirement in White River Junction and several DLA RFQs for NSN parts (some source-controlled/approved-source). If you already live in these lanes, these are quote-ready with the right drawings/NSN sourcing lined up.

A cluster of DLA Land & Maritime RFQs posted Jan 22, 2026 (due Feb 2, 2026) covering six NSN line items. Most are approved-source buys with no hard-copy solicitations and limited specs/drawings availability—so bid/no-bid hinges on your ability to source to the exact approved part and meet delivery timelines.

A quick scan of this set-aside pulse shows multiple DLA one-each NSN part buys (with approved sources called out and limited technical data) and a short-fuse NAVSEA RFQ. If you’re an OEM/authorized distributor with the right cage/part numbers, these can be clean, low-friction quotes—if you can meet delivery and electronic submission requirements.

A cluster of DLA Aviation Richmond RFQs posted Jan 21, 2026 spans aircraft components, bearings, and related hardware. Several notices explicitly state no specs/drawings and reference approved sources—so bid/no-bid decisions hinge on traceability, source eligibility, and your ability to quote electronically with confidence.

A quick, practical comparison of seven aerospace component buys/repairs under NAICS 336413—where the work is straightforward RFQ supply, where source approval is the real gate, and how to shape a compliant response package without guessing at missing data.

A cluster of DLA Maritime Columbus RFQs posted Jan 21, 2026 centers on low-quantity NSN buys with stated approved sources and electronic-only quoting. These are best fits for OEMs/authorized distributors (or firms that can document equivalency where allowed) and for small-business set-asides including one SDVOSBC requirement.

A quick analyst read on several newly posted notices: two DLA RFQs for single-quantity electrical items with approved sources, a Navy RFQ that points to attachments, an Embassy Lima requirement for Jet A‑1 fuel distribution in Peru with strict local registration/experience expectations, and a UK-wide waste management RFI.

A quick, analyst-driven read on what’s closest to due now, what’s actually being bought (vs. events/RFIs), and how to assemble a compliant response without over-investing in the wrong notices.
