FOR AUTOMATED SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS

REVISION 59 (Nov 18, 2019)

PART I - Instructions to Suppliers for the Submission of Quotations and Automated Evaluation

1. General Information/Instruction: 

 (a) This solicitation, called the DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions, is used with the request 

for quotations (RFQ), and the awards of purchase orders and basic contracts for automated EProcurement acquisitions 

valued up to the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT). The information/instruction found in this document expands 

upon information/instruction found within individual solicitations that reference this document. The DLA Master 

Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions is referenced in all automated RFQs that are located on the DLA 

Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS). Each RFQ contains a web link to this master solicitation. Suppliers are required to 

read PARTs I and II of this master solicitation to understand the automated solicitation, evaluation and award process for 

the automated simplified acquisitions. Suppliers shall comply with the master solicitation in effect at time of award. The 

master solicitation will be updated to reflect changes in law, regulation and acquisition policies and procedures. Updates

to this master solicitation will be identified by a date and revision number. Changes from the preceding revision will be 

indicated by using strikethrough to mark deleted text and yellow highlighting to mark added text. Prior versions of the 

DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions will be archived andavailable.

 (b) The master solicitation contains multiple parts. Part I instructs suppliers in the submission of quotations, use of the 

DIBBS and the one-time buy automated award evaluation. Part II contains the Automated Indefinite Delivery Contract 

(AIDC) award evaluation information and specific clauses and procurement note. Part III contains the mandatory 

provisions and clauses, conditional provisions and clauses, and procurement notes that apply to automated solicitations,

and purchase orders and basic contracts. Provisions, clauses, and procurement notes are incorporated by reference. They 

have the same force and effect as the full text. The full text of provisions, clauses, and procurement notes can be found 

via the applicable links provided in Part III below.

 Note: On or about October 5, 2017, mandatory provisions and clauses located in Part II Subpart A will appear in

 automated solicitations and awards. Refer to the Master Solicitation for the conditional provisions and clauses, and

 procurement notes as set forth in Part III Subparts B and C. In the event of a conflict between mandatory provisions and

 clauses explicitly cited in automated solicitations and awards and those located in the Master Solicitation Part III Subpart

 A, the mandatory provisions and clauses in the automated solicitation or award will take precedence.

2. DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) Instructions for AutomatedSolicitations.

(a) AUTOMATED SOLICITATION NUMBERING: Automated solicitations are identified by “SPE” in the first three 

positions of the solicitation number and “T” or “U” in the ninth position of the solicitation number.

(b) SUBMITTING QUOTATIONS: Automated quotations must be submitted electronically on DIBBS at

https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/ for all automated RFQs posted on DIBBS. Quotations received by other electronic 

means, even though within the FAR definition of “electronic commerce” or “electronic and information technology”, 

such as facsimile (fax) or electronic mail (email) will not be considered for award. Quotations transmitted in hard copy by 

U.S. Mail or other means will not be considered for award. Quotations received after the return date/time may only be 

considered in accordance with the late quotation provision in paragraph (e) below. 

 THE OFFEROR, BY SUBMISSION OF ITS QUOTATION, REPRESENTS IT WILL NOT PROVIDE 

COVERED TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES TO THE GOVERNMENT IN THE 

PERFORMANCE OF ANY AWARD RESULTING FROM THIS SOLICITATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH 

PARAGRAPH (c) OF THE CLAUSE AT FAR 52.204-24, REPRESENTATION REGARDING CERTAIN 

TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT (AUG 2019). 

 RETURN DATE AND TIME: The time for receipt of quotations is 3:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, or when applicable, 

Eastern Daylight Savings Time on the return date. If a return date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, the return

date will be extended to the next business day. Quotations submitted using EDI/DIBBS are subject to electronic interface 

latency which can result in transmission delays. Suppliers must consider transmission delays in the EDI/DIBBS system 

when submitting quotations and assume the risk of late transmission/submission. As an alternative, the direct entry of 

quotation information into the DIBBS website is a method that precludes transmission delays, and will ensure the quotation 

is evaluated. Except as provided herein, awards will not be made prior to the solicitation return date/time. Fast Auto 

Evaluation solicitations are solicitations estimated to be less than the micro-purchase threshold. They may be awarded prior 

to the solicitation return date/time. Solicitations for items with documented urgency may be awarded prior to solicitation 

return date/time. Solicitations may also result in award prior to the solicitation return date when the response date is 30 

days or greater and a responsive quotation is received prior to the 30 days but at least 11 days after issuance. Therefore, 

suppliers are advised to submit quotations as quickly aspossible.

Auto Evaluation may extend the solicitation return date for three business days for price negotiations for “qualified” (see

FOR AUTOMATED SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS

REVISION 59 (Nov 18, 2019)

paragraph 3 (a) below) quotations in the competitive range. Notice of the extension will be provided by email to suppliers 

in the competitive range (bids without exception) inviting them to revise their quotation. DIBBS sends an email 

notification to the email address registered for the person who submitted the quotation. If a third party submitted the 

quotation, DIBBS sends the notification to the email addresses of the third party and the super user CAGE. Suppliers are 

responsible for the accuracy of the email addresses in DIBBS. Suppliers who have submitted their best quotation do not 

need to resubmit.

(c) HOW INTERRUPTIONS AFFECT RETURN TIME AND DATE: If an emergency or unanticipated event 

interrupts DIBBS processing preventing quotation submission through DIBBS at the close of a solicitation, the return 

date/time will be extended to the same time of day on the next business day that DIBBS processing resumes. Notice of 

the extension will be provided on the DIBBS home page. A supplier’s inability to submit a quotation caused by failure of 

a supplier’s hardware, software, Internet Service Provider, or the World Wide Web itself, is not cause for extension of a 

solicitation.

(d) LATE QUOTATIONS: Quotations received after the return date/time for automated solicitations may be 

considered until the evaluation process begins. Once the evaluation process begins, late quotations will only be 

considered if the procurement is manually reviewed and the contracting officer determines that considering the late 

quotation is in the best interest of the Government and would not unduly delay the award. Quotations received after the 

evaluation process has begun will not be considered if the procurement is processed entirely through the DLA 

Automated Evaluation program without manual evaluation or buyer assist. The procurement will not be manually 

reviewed solely because a quote is received after the return date/time.

(e) QUOTATION REVISIONS: Suppliers may revise quotations on DIBBS up until the time the solicitation is 

awarded. Quotation revisions overlay previously submitted quotations on the samesolicitation.

(f) QUOTATION WITHDRAWAL: Suppliers may withdraw quotations on DIBBS up until the time the solicitation is 

awarded by selecting a bid type of “no bid.” A “no bid” quotation overlays a previously submitted quotation on the same 

solicitation.

(g) SET-ASIDE SOLICITATIONS: Solicitations with an estimated dollar value between the micro-purchase threshold 

and the SAT are set-aside for small business when cited in the solicitation. When a solicitation is set-aside, only small 

business quotations that comply with the non-manufacturer rule will be considered. See FAR 19.502-2(c) for an 

explanation.

(h) FAST AUTO EVALUATION SOLICITATIONS: A Fast Auto Evaluation icon on the DIBBS “search results”

screen identifies Fast Auto Evaluation solicitations. These solicitations are estimated to be at or less than the micropurchase threshold and are not set-aside. They may be awarded prior to the solicitation return date/time. A quotation 

valued less than the micro-purchase threshold that is submitted in response to a solicitation that has an estimated value

equal to or greater than the micro-purchase threshold and was not originally marked , may result in an early award as 

a result of being evaluated as a Fast Auto Evaluation quotation. Fast Auto Evaluation commences at 3:00 P.M., 3 

business days after the issue date, and continues every day thereafter at 3:00 P.M. until the return date. The automated 

evaluation program for an early award evaluates all quotations not exceeding the micro-purchasethreshold.

(i) SOLICITATIONS WITH FIRST ARTICLE TESTING (FAT) OR PRODUCTION LOT TESTING (PLT) 

REQUIREMENTS: The FAT and PLT appear as separate line items in the solicitation. The number of units shown in 

the solicitation for the FAT or PLT line item is “1 EA”. The actual number of units required for the FAT line item will be 

identified in clause FAR 52.209-3 or 52.209-4. The actual number of units required for the PLT line items will be 

identified in the specification for PLT requirements in Section A of the solicitation. The required delivery schedule for 

FAT line items will be identified in FAR 52.209-3 or 52.209-4. The required delivery schedule for PLT line items will 

be identified in Section A of the solicitation. 

(j) QUANTITY REQUIREMENTS: Quotation must be submitted on the total quantity of eachitem when a definite 

quantity is required.

(k) DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS: The Government required delivery will be stated in days after date of order (ADO). 

If the supplier is not able to meet the delivery requirement, the supplier must submit their delivery timeframe on the 

DIBBS quote page in number of days ADO. This includes time to deliver production quantity, required testing, and 

government inspection and acceptance. If a FAT is required, the supplier must also comply with the FAT delivery 

requirement and if unable to comply, must submit their delivery timeframe on the DIBBS quote page in number of days 

ADO. This includes time to deliver the completed test report (if contractorFAT).

 (l) Questions regarding the DIBBS should be e-mailed to: dibbsBSM@dla.mil or refer to the frequently asked 

questions on DIBBS at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/Refs/help/FrequentlyAskedQuestions/Default.aspx. For

REVISION 59 (Nov 18, 2019)

3. Automated Award Evaluation Information

(a) AUTOMATED EVALUATION: Acquisitions (excluding automated solicitations with first article test 

requirements – (see paragraph (c) below) may be candidates for automated award under DLA Automated Evaluation 

program. The program uses price reasonableness logic and other automated filters to make fully automated and buyer 

assisted automated awards valued at the SAT or less. The Automated Evaluation program begins the evaluationprocess

at the time and date set for receipt of quotations and only considers “qualified quotations” for award. Qualified quotations 

are in exact compliance with the solicitation requirements (bid type equal to “bid without exception”), and are submitted 

on the DIBBS.

(1) The following are not considered exceptions to the solicitation requirements and will not make a quotation 

ineligible for an award:

(i) Quoting delivery days different than the required delivery days. 

(ii) Quoting origin inspection on solicitations requiring destination inspection. NOTE: The Department of Defense

limits government source inspection; we permit government source inspection for certain circumstances. If a 

supplier’s quotation does not comply with the requirements stated in the solicitation, an evaluation factor will be 

applied to the quotation. See paragraph (b)(1) below. Additionally, should a quotation citing origin inspection for a 

solicitation requiring destination inspection be evaluated manually, the quotation may be determined ineligible for

award.

 (iii) Quoting a superseding or previously approved part or correction to a CAGE/part number cited in the

 procurement identification description (PID) for an item described by manufacturer’s CAGE and partnumber.

(iiiv) Quoting a used, reconditioned, remanufactured item, or unused former Government surplusproperty.

 (iv) Quoting other than a domestic end product on an unrestricted solicitation.

 (vi) Quoting a hazardous item.

 (vii) Quoting “Other” when the solicitation states a Higher Level Qualityrequirement.

(2) The following are considered exceptions to the solicitation requirements and will make a quotation ineligible for 

an automated award:

(i) Quoting an alternate product or otherwise taking exception to the solicitation’s itemdescription.

(ii) Exceptions to packaging requirements.

(iii) Exceptions to FOB terms.

(iv) Exceptions to Quoting destination inspection requirements on a solicitation requiring origin inspection.

(v) Exceptions to required quantity.

(vi) Quoting a quantity variance greater than specified on the solicitation.

(vii) Quoting “None” when a Higher Level Contract Quality Requirement isrequired.

(viii) Quoting the use of Child Labor.

(3) The following are qualifications (when cited in the solicitation) that are required to be eligible for an automated 

award:

(i) Export Control (as cited in the item description) requires the applicable certifications to be current for both the 

quoter and manufacturer.

(ii) The quoted manufacture must be on the specific Qualified Product List or Qualified Manufacture List.

(iii) The quoter must be on the specific Qualified Supplier List of Distributors or on the Qualified Supplier List

(iv) When Trade Agreements is cited (DFARS 252.225-7020) when offering the product of a Non-Designated 

Country when other quotes received are not offering the product of a Non-Designated country.

(b) AUTOMATED EVALUATION FACTORS: The automated evaluation program evaluates all qualified quotations 

on the basis of price alone and does not consider quantity price breaks. Price evaluation factors are added to the total 

quotation price in the following instances:

(1) $2,500 for quoting origin inspection when the Government’s requirement is for destination inspection

(12) $200 for offers of surplus for unused former Government surplusmaterial.

(23) $600 for CSI evaluations of surplus by each ESA. The evaluation factor may be applied if the contracting office 

cannot determine acceptability of quotations for other than CSI items and requires ESAcoordination.

(34) When the solicitation is subject to the Buy American statute or the Balance of Payments Program (see DFARS

225.502(c).

(c) SOLICITATIONS WITH FAT/PLT REQUIREMENTS:

(1) Solicitations with FAT/PLT requirements are not candidates for automated evaluation or award. All quotations 

received for solicitations with FAT/PLT requirements shall be manually evaluated and manuallyawarded.

DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY (DLA) MASTER SOLICITATION

FOR AUTOMATED SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS

REVISION 59 (Nov 18, 2019)

(2) For solicitations with FAT testing by the Government, the contracting officer will apply an evaluation factor 

that reflects the cost of the testing.

(3) When FAT is waived, the contracting officer may negotiate for revised delivery since the original 

delivery requirement may have been based on prior production deliveries with first article included.

(d) TIE QUOTATIONS: If evaluated quotations result in a tie between qualified quotations, the award decision will 

be based on the following order of precedence:

(1) A domestic end product quotation over a non-qualifying foreign country end product quotation.

(2) Small business quotation over a large business quotation.

(3) Quotation with the shortest delivery. (If a quotation contains different deliveries for multiple line items 

the automated evaluation program uses the average of the delivery periods).

(4) First quotation submitted.

(e) MANUAL EVALUATION: When automated evaluation is not used, as in the case of FAT and PLT requirements, 

or if the system is unable to make a fully automated award, quotations will be evaluated and awarded manually. When a 

quotation is manually evaluated, the contracting officer may consider quantity price breaks quoted without further 

discussion. When manually issued awards reference the Master Solicitation, all mandatory and conditional provisions, 

clauses, and procurement notes are incorporated by reference with the same force and effect as if set forth in full text.

(f) MANUAL EVALUATION FACTORS: If the requirement is evaluated manually, price, delivery, and past 

performance will be considered in accordance with the terms in the solicitation. Since delivery is an evaluation factor, 

there may be an evaluation preference for quotes/offers of fewer delivery days than the number of delivery days 

requested by the Government. Quoting/offering a greater number of delivery days than requested may result in the 

quote/offer not being considered.

(g) ALTERNATE OFFERS: Alternate offers will not be considered for automated award. Alternate offers may be 

submitted for evaluation for future procurements to the location identified in the solicitation.

(h) NOTICE OF AWARD: Purchase orders are based on a submitted quotation. Suppliers are requested to notify the 

administrative contracting officer, within 14 days after receiving the notice of award, when they will not perform in 

accordance with a purchase order. Failure to provide prompt notice will adversely affect your past performance 

evaluation if the purchase order is later cancelled at other than the Government’srequest.

(i) AUTOMATED EVALUATION DISTRIBUTION: The automated award will be posted to the DIBBS web site and 

distributed via email notification with a Web link to an electronic copy of the DD Form 1155, Order for Supplies or 

Services. Orders will be transmitted via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to contractors who are EDI capable. 

Contractors that are not EDI capable will receive their orders via email award notification containing Web links. Delays 

in the receipt of awards that are caused by email interruptions and Internet access are not excusable delays and will not 

extend delivery schedules.

(j) Quotations submitted by firms newly registered in DIBBS (i.e., registered in DIBBS within the past 60 days) in 

volumes significantly exceeding the historical average for newly registered firms will be excluded from consideration for 

automated awards and manual awards.

PART II – Automated Indefinite Delivery Contract (AIDC): 

Applies when a “U” solicitation and resulting award do not specify a firm quantity of supplies (other than a minimum 

quantity) and provides for the issuance of delivery orders during the period of the contract. Coverage is for DLA orders 

for stock replenishment (DLA Direct). 

1. Automated Award Evaluation Information

The following are considered exceptions to the solicitation requirements in addition to those listed in PART I and will 

make a quotation ineligible for an automated award:

 (a) Quoting a used, reconditioned, remanufactured item, or unused former Government surplus property

 (b) Quoting less than the minimum of 90 days validity period.

2. AIDC Contract: 

(a) The AIDC contract will incorporate this Master Solicitation by reference, including the following terms and
