## Where to Find Procurement Opportunities

DLA Aviation conducts most of its business electronically—from solicitation to award to payment. The DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) is a web-based bid board that allows suppliers to search for, view, and submit secure quotes on Requests for Quotations (RFQs), search and view Request for Proposals (RFPs), and view awards for DLA items of supply. Most DLA Aviation solicitations are posted on the DIBBS bid board at **www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil**.

The DLA Aviation DLR sites use the Federal Contract Opportunities website at **SAM.gov** for posting of their opportunities. All procurements over $25,000 are publicized in SAM.gov. SAM.gov is especially important for RFP searches, since the RFP search capability in DIBBS is more limited. DLR solicitations, Sources Sought, and Requests for Information (RFIs) are also found on SAM.gov as these notices are not published in DIBBS.

Search for DLA Aviation opportunities and notices in **SAM.gov** using the following codes:
