Acquisition Tips 

• Start reviewing the technical specifications at the Market Research stage. Request for standards and patterns in advance through our 

repository area at 

http://www.dla.mil/TroopSupport/ClothingandTextiles/SpecRequest. 

aspx. 

• Review Past Performance Information Retrieval System score at 

https://www.ppirs.gov. If there is a discrepancy with your score, 

contact Tim Atwell (215-737-7844), Procurement Analyst immediately for resolution, so your past performance score is top 

notch when competing for awards. 

• Inform your potential suppliers that there is an upcoming 

procurement, so they can provide you with Product Demonstration 

Model (PDM) material. Sometimes, test reports are required with 

your submission. 

• Remember to fill out your clauses in their entirety. Non-compliance may result in rejection of offer and removal from competition. 

• Don’t wait until the last minute to submit your proposal. A late bid 

will not be considered!

Acquisition Tips 

• If PDM testing (i.e. wash test) is required, conduct testing in-house to 

ensure compliance with technical specifications. 

• Do not pull PDMs from production. 

• Ensure you have long term agreements with your subcontractors and suppliers prior to submitting a proposal. 

• Establish your line of credit prior to submitting your proposal. In fact, submit it with your proposal. 

• Be ready for the Government to award on initial offers. Provide your best price/proposal up front. Review historical information on DLA Internet Bid 

Board System (DIBBS) or simply ask the contracting officer. 

• Ensure your System for Award Management (SAM) registry is up-to-date 

and active. 

• Know your places of performance at the acquisition stage. 

• Go to FedBizOpps at www.fbo.gov and DIBBS for any upcoming or open 

procurements.
