Updates and Reminders

16

- 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 Suppliers Performance Risk System score-SPRS (formerly PPIRS) at 

https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/

- If there is a discrepancy with your score, contact Tim Atwell (215-737-7844 

timothy.atwell@dla.mil), 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!

Updates and Reminders

- 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 Beta Sam at https://beta.sam.gov/ and DIBBS for any upcoming or open 

procurements.
