When using the DLA Vendor Shipment Module (VSM), do not print shipping labels until orders are picked/packed AND 

within one (1) day of shipment. This will ensure shipping labels have the most current ship-to address. Please see the 

VSM Vendor User Guide for more information at: https://Vsm.distribution.dla.mil/net/docs/vendor_user_guide.pdf

DIBBS QUOTE FORM AND BATCH/EDI CHANGES 

Page 3

The changes below to the quote form and batch quote/EDI will be incorporated with the next release of DIBBS 

changes. It is anticipated this will occur no earlier than July 16, 2022. As the actual date becomes firm, it will be 

communicated.

Joint Venture:

The ability to quote “Joint Venture” is no longer limited to a HUBZone set-aside. It applies to all set-asides when 

quoting as a small business. Fields 18 and 19 have been updated to accommodate this change.

HUBZone Preference Indicator and Waiver of HUBZone Preference: 

When FAR 52.219-4 applies (an indicator is added to batch/EDI, field 57), the capability will be available to waive or 

not waive the HUBZone preference (field 58). This only applies when the solicitation is unrestricted and when 

quoting as a HUBZone small business.

See link for the new batch quote instructions:

LAND SUPPLY CHAIN - “HOT” ITEMS LIST

DLA Land Supply Chain has posted a list of items that are urgently needed at:

https://www.dla.mil/LandandMaritime/Business/Selling/DLA-Land-andMaritime-Procurement-Initiatives/ .

We are looking for readily available and usable material. We are asking our 

industry partners to review this list and let us know if you have surplus, 

manufacturers’ overruns, or residual inventory. The intent is to update this list monthly so please check back regularly.

DLA Enhanced Joint Certification 

Program (EJCP) Renewals 

DLA suppliers who require access to DLA managed export-controlled technical data for DLA procurement opportunities must have a DLA Enhanced Joint Certification Program (EJCP) certificate. Instructions for obtaining an EJCP certificate can be found at DLA Export Control Data Access. EJCP certificates are valid for three years from the date of approval and DLA suppliers must reapply to renew their EJCP certificates. To renew their EJCP certificate, DLA suppliers 

should follow the instructions at DLA Export Control Data Access, or contact the DLA JCP/EJCP Team at 

jcp-admin@dla.mil. To avoid a gap in their EJCP certification, DLA encourages suppliers to submit their EJCP renewal 

documentation 30 days prior to their EJCP expiration.
