DLA Aviation’s primary mission is to procure repair parts for both fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, bottled gases and cylinders, 

and oversee DLA’s green products initiative harnessing and recycling elements that would be hazardous to the environment.

DLA Aviation manages the Department of Defense (DoD) map repository of aeronautical, digital, hydrographic and 

topographic map products and operates the federal government’s only industrial plant equipment facility providing a full 

range of maintenance services to include repair, rebuilding and acquisition of all types of industrial machinery, including 

lathes and milling machines. The activity also purchases some of the consumable hardware items such as screws, bolts, 

and rivets.

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.

DLA Aviation supports 2,341 weapon systems and is the U.S. 

military’s integrated material manager for more than 1.8 million 

national stock number items, industrial retail supply and depot-level 

reparable (DLR) acquisitions. Using a comprehensive demand 

planning process, our priorities align with those of our military 

customers. 

Positioned alongside its military customers, DLA Aviation manages 

industrial support activities and DLR procurement operations in 

Georgia, Oklahoma, Utah, North Carolina, California, and Florida. It 

also manages DLR procurement at Naval Supply Systems 

Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support Philadelphia and 

Redstone Army Arsenal Alabama.
