FOR 

EPROCUREMENT AUTOMATED SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS (PART 13) 

REVISION 30 (November 19, 2015)

PART I- Instructions to Vendors for the Submission of Quotes and Automated Evaluation: 

 1. General Information/Instruction: Quoters/Offerors are encouraged to conform their delivery terms as closely 

as possible to the delivery days requested. This solicitation, called the DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified 

Acquisitions (Part 13) is used for the solicitation of Request for Quotes (RFQ) and the award of Purchase Orders, for 

automated EProcurement acquisitions valued up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The DLA Solicitation for 

Automated Simplified Acquisitions (Part 13) is effective with the implementation of EProcurement on Oct. 24, 2011. The 

information/instruction found in this document takes precedence over information/instruction found within individual 

solicitations that reference this document.

The DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions (Part 13) is referenced in all Automated 

RFQs valued up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold that are located on the DLA Internet Bid Board System 

(DIBBS). Each RFQ contains a web link to this Master solicitation.

Vendors are required to read PART I of this solicitation to understand the solicitation, evaluation and award 

process for EProcurement automated acquisitions valued up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

 The DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions (Part 13) will be updated to reflect 

changes in law, regulation and acquisition policies and procedures. Vendors should not assume that a copy of the 

DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions (Part 13) once downloaded, will remain effective. 

Updates to the DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions (Part 13) will be identified by a date 

and revision number. Changes to the DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions (Part 13) will 

be highlighted in each revision. Prior versions of the DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions 

(Part 13) will be archived and available. 

The DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions (Part 13) is structured in two Parts. Part I 

contains important information to vendors regarding 1) the DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions 

(Part 13), 2) the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) and 3) the Automated Award Evaluation. 

Part II contains the clauses, provisions or notices that apply to automated solicitations and orders, and is organized 

into Subparts A through C. A web link to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the Department of Defense Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Defense Logistics Acquisition Directive (DLAD) is provided at the 

beginning of Part II as well as on the DIBBS homepage. Clauses, provisions or notices are incorporated by reference when 

the full text is not provided, with the same force and effect as if set forth in full text, and made part of the solicitation or order 

as applicable. Vendors are required to read the clauses, provisions and notices. The full text of clauses, provisions and 

notices can be found via the applicable links provided on the DIBBS homepage or upon request. 

Subpart A contains the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the Department of Defense Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Defense Logistics Acquisition Directive (DLAD) clauses and provisions that are 

applicable to all solicitations and orders. These clause and provisions are identified as “Mandatory”. 

Subpart B contains the FAR, DFARS, and DLAD clauses and provisions that apply to acquisitions based on certain 

conditions, and provides instructions for the vendor to read to determine when a particular clause or provisions applies to a 

solicitation or order. These clauses and provisions are identified as “Conditional”. 

Subpart C contains the FAR and DLAD clauses and provisions that apply when First Article Test (FAT) 

requirements are listed in the solicitation. Note: SOLICITATIONS WITH FAT REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT 
DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY (DLA) MASTER SOLICITATION EPROCUREMENT

2

CANDIDATES FOR AUTOMATED EVALUATION OR AWARD. ALL QUOTES RECEIVED FOR SOLICITATIONS 

WITH FAT REQUIREMENTS SHALL BE MANUALLY EVALUATED AND AWARDED.

Automated solicitations will be identified by a “T” or “U” in the ninth position of the solicitation number. 

Questions regarding the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) should be e-mailed to: dibbsBSM@dla.mil. For 

immediate assistance, please refer to the frequently asked questions (FAQs) on DLA DIBBS at 

https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/Refs/help/FrequentlyAskedQuestions/FrequentlyAskedQuestions.htm or phone 1-877-352-

2255.

The vendors should thoroughly review the following prior to submitting a quote as it provides the solicitation and 

the evaluation criteria for automated acquisitions valued up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and also explains 

how a quote is evaluated if the automated evaluation process cannot determine a price to be fair and reasonable or 

cannot make a contractor’s responsibility determination. In such a case the quote will be manually reviewed. 

2. DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) Quoting Information for Automated Solicitations

(a) AUTOMATED SOLICITATIONS ON DIBBS: This provision applies to all automated solicitations valued at or below 

the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, Requests for Quotations (RFQs), that are posted on DLA Internet Bid Board System 

(DIBBS). These 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 or an Eproc icon .

(b) SUBMISSION OF AUTOMATED QUOTES: Automated quotes must be submitted electronically on DIBBS at 

https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/ prior to the solicitation return date and time for all automated Requests for Quotations 

(RFQs) posted on DIBBS. Quotes received by other electronic means, even though within the FAR definition of “electronic 

commerce” or “electronic and information technology”, such as facsimile (fax), electronic mail (email) will not be considered 

for award. Quotes received by U.S. Mail will not be considered for award. 

(c) RETURN DATE AND TIME: The time for receipt of quotes 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. Quote submission using EDI/DIBBS is subject to electronic interface latency

which can result in transmission delays. Offerors must consider transmission delays in the EDI/DIBBS system when 

submitting quotes for consideration, and assume the risk of late transmission/submission. As an alternative, the direct entry 

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

evaluated.

Awards will not be made prior to the solicitation return date/time unless it is a FAST Auto Evaluation or there is a 

documented urgency. At the return date/time all quotes received will be evaluated, therefore, all quotes over the 

micropurchase threshold should be submitted by the return date/time specified in the solicitation. Fast Auto Evaluation 

solicitations, which are those solicitations estimated to be less than the micropurchase threshold, may be awarded prior to the 

solicitation return date/time. 

Auto Evaluation may extend the solicitation return date for three business days when prices from qualified quotes cannot be 

determined reasonable. Notice of the extension will be provided by email to all vendors in the competitive range (bids 

without exception) inviting them to revise their quotes. The notice will be sent to the email address registered on DIBBS for 

the person that submitted the quote. If a third party submitted the quote, the notice will be sent to the email addresses of the 

third party and the superuser for the CAGE on whose behalf the quote is being submitted. Vendors are responsible for the 

accuracy of email addresses in DIBBS and should ensure that they are correct. Vendors that have submitted their best quoted 

price will not need to resubmit their quote. 

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

DIBBS processes so that quotes cannot be submitted on 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 on which DIBBS processes resume. Notice of the extension will 
DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY (DLA) MASTER SOLICITATION EPROCUREMENT

3

be provided on the DIBBS home page. A vendor’s inability to submit a quote caused by failure of a vendor’s hardware, 

software, Internet Service Provider, or the World Wide Web itself, is not cause for extension of a solicitation.

(e) LATE QUOTES: Quotes received after the return date/time for automated solicitations may be considered until the 

evaluation process has begun. Once the evaluation process has begun, late quotes will only be considered if the contracting 

officer determines that it is in the best interest of the Government and that considering the late quote would not unduly delay 

the award. See Automated Award Evaluation Information for information related to the automated evaluation process.

(f) QUOTE REVISIONS: Quotes may be revised on DIBBS up until the time the solicitation is awarded or cancelled by 

resubmitting a new quote. Quote revisions will overlay previously submitted quotes on the same solicitation in the 

Government database. 

(g) QUOTE WITHDRAWAL: Quotes may be withdrawn on DIBBS up until the time the solicitation is awarded or 

cancelled by resubmitting a new quote and selecting a bid type of “no bid.” Quote withdrawal will overlay previously 

submitted quotes on the same solicitation in the Government database. 

(h) SET-ASIDE SOLICITATIONS: Solicitations with an estimated dollar value exceeding the micropurchase threshold but 

not over the Simplified Acquisition Threshold are set-aside for small business when cited in the solicitation. When a 

solicitation is set-aside, only small business quotes that comply with the non-manufacturer rule will be considered. See FAR 

19.502-2(c) for an explanation of this rule. 

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

screen identifies Fast Auto Evaluation solicitations. These solicitations, estimated to be less than the micropurchase 

threshold, are not set-aside for small businesses. The solicitations may be awarded prior to the solicitation return date/time. 

Commencing at 3:00 P.M., 1 business days after the issue date, and continuing every day thereafter at 3:00 P.M. until the 

return date, all quotes equal to or below the micropurchase threshold or less will be evaluated by DLA’s automated 

evaluation program for an early award. 

(j) SOLICITATIONS WITH FAT/PLT REQUIREMENTS: Solicitations with FAT and/or PLT requirements will contain 

detailed information specific to the FAT/PLT in Section A and Section B of the solicitation. The line item for the FAT and/or

PLT requirement will appear as a separate line item in the solicitation. 

Quantity: The number of units shown in the solicitation for FAT/PLT line item appears as “1 EA”. This quantity signifies 

the test requirement. Offerors will find the actual number of units required by the government for the FAT line item per FAR 

52.209-3 or 52.209-4 and for the PLT line item per DLAD 52.246-9085 or 52.246-9086 in Section A of the solicitation. 

Delivery: Offerors will find the delivery requested by the government for the FAT line item per FAR 52.209-3 or 52.209-4 

and for the PLT line item per DLAD 52.246-9085 or 52.246-9086 in Section A of the solicitation.

Quoters/Offerors are encouraged to quote delivery terms as closely as possible to the delivery days requested, however 

offerors/quoters may propose a different delivery than that requested by the Government. When submitting a quote, ensure 

the delivery quoted for the production quantity line item(s) reflects the total number of days after date of order (ADO) needed 

to deliver the production quantity including all the days needed for testing/government review. Ensure the delivery quoted 

for the FAT and/or PLT line item reflects the number of days needed ADO to deliver the completed test report (if contractor 

FAT/PLT) or the FAT/PLT units (if Government FAT/PLT).

DISCLAIMER: The Fast Auto Evaluation icon is used to indicate a “T” or “U” solicitation with an estimated dollar value 

equal to or less than the micropurchase threshold, not the potential quoted value. Quotes valued less than the micropurchase 

threshold that are submitted in response to solicitations that have an estimated value equal to or greater than the 

micropurchase threshold, may result in an early award as a result of being evaluated as a Fast Auto Evaluation quote, even if 

not originally designated as such.

3. Automated Award Evaluation Information

(a) AUTOMATED EVALUATION: Acquisitions (EXCLUDING AUTOMATED SOLICITATIONS WITH FIRST 

ARTICLE TEST REQUIREMENTS – SEE PARAGRAPH C) may be candidates for automated award under DLA's 

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

assisted automated awards valued at the Simplified Acquisition Threshold or less. The Automated Evaluation system only 

considers “qualified quotes” for award. Qualified quotes are in exact compliance with the solicitation requirements (bid type 

equal to “bid without exception”), and are submitted on the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS). 

(1) The following are not, by themselves, considered exceptions to the solicitation requirements and will not make a quote 

ineligible** for an award:

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

(ii) **Quoting origin inspection on solicitations requiring destination Inspection; 

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

identification description (AID) on an item described by manufacturer’s CAGE and part number;

(iv) Quoting a used, reconditioned, remanufactured item; 

(v) Quoting other than a domestic end product on an unrestricted solicitation; 

(vi) Quoting a hazardous item; 

(vii) Quoting a new/unused Government surplus item; and

(viii) Quoting “Other” when the solicitation states a Higher Level Quality requirement is required

** NOTE: The Department of Defense is implementing a policy that limits government source inspections, and permits 

government source inspection for specific instances. Vendors should submit quotes based on the requirements stated in 

the solicitation. If a vendor’s quote does not comply with the requirements stated in the solicitation, evaluation factors 

will be applied. See paragraph (b)(1) below. Additionally, should a quote citing origin inspection for a solicitation 

requiring destination inspection be evaluated manually, the quote may become ineligible for award. 

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

automated award

(i) Quoting an alternate product or otherwise taking exception to the solicitation’s item description; 

(ii) Exceptions to Packaging requirements;

(iii) Exceptions to FOB terms;

(iv) Quoting destination inspection on a solicitation requiring origin inspection;

(v) Exceptions to required quantity;

(vi) Quoting a quantity variance greater that what is specified on the solicitation;

(vii)Quoting “None” when a Higher Level Quality Requirement is required; and 

(viii) Quoting the use of Child Labor

(b) AUTOMATED EVALUATION FACTORS: The Automated System evaluates all qualified quotes on the basis of price 

alone and does not consider quantity price breaks. Price evaluation factors are added to the total quoted price in the 

following instances:

(1) $250 for quoting origin inspection when the Government’s requirement is for destination inspection (see DLAD 52.213-

9001);
DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY (DLA) MASTER SOLICITATION EPROCUREMENT

5

(2) $500 for quoting surplus material on non-critical items; $1,100 for quoting surplus material on critical items. When an 

automated quote of surplus material is in line for award after applying the above evaluation factors, a manual evaluation will 

be conducted in accordance with the more detailed evaluation criteria in DLAD 52.211-9003;

(3) The Buy American Act (BAA) places restrictions on the purchase of supplies that are not domestic end products. Refer 

to DFARS 252.225-7036; and

(c) SOLICITATIONS WITH FAT/PLT REQUIREMENTS:

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

solicitations with FAT/PLT requirements shall be manually evaluated and manually awarded. 

(2) For government FAT solicitations, the contracting officer will apply an evaluation factor in accordance with DLAD 

provision 52.209-9016 IF THE SOLICITATION CONTAINS THE COST TO THE GOVERNMENT TO TEST THE FIRST 

ARTICLE UNITS.

(3) Offers that do not cite a price for the FAT and/or PLT line item shall be evaluated under the assumption that there is no 

separate charge for the FAT/PLT requirement. In the event the FAT requirement is waived, no award will be made by the 

contracting officer for the FAT line item, and the delivery schedule for the production quantity will be reduced in accordance 

with DLAD clause 52.211-9019.

(d) TIE QUOTES: If evaluated offers results in a tie between qualified quotes, the award decision will be based on the 

following order of precedence: 

(1) A domestic end product offer over a non-qualifying country end product offer;

(2) Small business offer over a large business offer;

(3) Offer with the shortest delivery (If a quote contains different deliveries for multiple line items the automated evaluation 

program uses the average of the delivery periods); and 

(4) First quote submitted. 

(e) MANUAL EVALUATION: If the solicitation did not state that it was a candidate for Automated evaluation, or if the 

solicitation stated that it was a candidate for Automated evaluation but is unable to make price reasonableness or contractor

responsibility determinations, OR THE SOLICITATION INCLUDES AN FAT REQUIREMENT, the solicitation and quote 

will be evaluated and awarded manually. When a quote is manually evaluated the contracting officer may consider quantity 

price breaks offered without further solicitation or discussion. 

(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. 

(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 DLAD provision 52.217-9002. 

(h) NOTICE OF AWARD: The Government’s offer to purchase, as evidenced by an order, is made on the basis of a 

submitted quotation. Vendors 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 an order. Failure to provide prompt notice will adversely 

affect your past performance evaluation if this order is later cancelled at other than the Government’s request.

(i) Automated Evaluation Distribution: The automated award will be posted to the DLA 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.
