PART I - Instructions to Suppliers for the Submission of Quotations and Automated Evaluation

1. General Information/Instruction:

 (a) This solicitation, called the DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions, is used with the 

request for quotations (RFQ), and the awards of purchase orders and basic contracts for automated EProcurement 

acquisitions valued up to the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT). The information/instruction found in this document 

expands upon information/instruction found within individual solicitations that reference this document. The DLA 

Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions is referenced in all automated RFQs that are located on the 

DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS). Each RFQ contains a web link to this master solicitation. Suppliers are 

required to read PARTs I, II, and III of this master solicitation to understand the automated solicitation, evaluation and 

award process for the automated simplified acquisitions. Suppliers shall comply with the master solicitation in effect at 

time of award. The master solicitation will be updated to reflect changes in law, regulation and acquisition policies and 

procedures. Updates to this master solicitation will be identified by a date and revision number. Changes from the 

preceding revision will be indicated by using strikethrough to mark deleted text and yellow highlighting to mark added 

text. Prior versions of the DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions will be archived and 

available.

 (b) The master solicitation contains multiple parts. Part I instructs suppliers in the submission of quotations, use of the 

DIBBS and one-time buy automated award evaluation. Part II contains the Automated Indefinite Delivery Contract 

(AIDC) award evaluation information and specific clauses and procurement note. Part III Subpart A contains the 

mandatory provisions and clauses, Subpart B contains conditional provisions and clauses, and Subpart C contains 

procurement notes that apply to automated solicitations, purchase orders and basic contracts. Provisions, clauses, and 

procurement notes are incorporated by reference. They have the same force and effect as the full text. The full text of 

provisions, clauses, and procurement notes can be found via the applicable links provided in Part III.

Note: On or about October 5, 2017, mandatory provisions and clauses located in Part III Subpart A will appear in 

automated solicitations and awards. Refer to Part III Subpart B for the conditional provisions and clauses, and Part III 

Subpart C for the procurement notes. In the event of a conflict between mandatory provisions and clauses explicitly cited 

in automated solicitations and awards and those located in the Master Solicitation Part III Subpart A, the mandatory 

provisions and clauses in the automated solicitation or award will take precedence.

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

 (a) AUTOMATED SOLICITATION NUMBERING: 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. 

 (b) SUBMITTING QUOTATIONS: Automated quotations must be submitted electronically on DIBBS at

ACCORDANCE WITH FAR 52.204-26(c)(2); AND

(5) IT DOES NOT PROVIDE COVERED DEFENSE TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT OR 

SERVICES AS A PART OF ITS OFFERED PRODUCTS OR SERVICES TO THE GOVERNMENT IN THE 

PERFORMANCE OF ANY CONTRACT, SUBCONTRACT, OR OTHER CONTRACTUAL INSTRUMENT IN 

ACCORDANCE WITH DFARS 252.204-7016(c).

EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 30, 2020, THE OFFEROR, BY SUBMISSION OF ITS QUOTATION, REPRESENTS THE 

FOLLOWING, IF DFARS CLAUSE 252.204–7012, SAFEGUARDING COVERED DEFENSE INFORMATION AND 

CYBER INCIDENT REPORTING, APPLIES—

(1) IN ACCORDANCE WITH DFARS PROVISION 252.204-7019, IT HAS IMPLEMENTED THE NIST SP 80171 

SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR ITS INFORMATION SYSTEMS; AND

(2) ITS SUMMARY LEVEL SCORES ARE POSTED IN THE SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE RISK SYSTEM (SPRS)

(HTTPS://WWW.SPRS.CSD.DISA.MIL/) IN ACCORDANCE WITH PARAGRAPH (d) OF DFARS CLAUSE 252.204-

7020, NIST SP 800-171 DoD ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS.

FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN CANCELLATION OF AUTOMATED PURCHASE ORDERS.

RETURN DATE AND TIME: The time for receipt of quotations 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. Quotations submitted using EDI/DIBBS are subject to electronic interface 

latency which can result in transmission delays. Suppliers must consider transmission delays in the EDI/DIBBS system 

when submitting quotations and assume the risk of late transmission/submission. As an alternative, the direct entry of 

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

is evaluated. Except as provided herein, awards will not be made prior to the solicitation return date/time. Fast Auto 

Evaluation solicitations are solicitations estimated to be less than the micro-purchase threshold. They may be awarded prior 

to the solicitation return date/time. Solicitations for items with documented urgency may be awarded prior to solicitation 

return date/time. Solicitations may also result in award prior to the solicitation return date when the response date is 30 

days or greater and a responsive quotation is received prior to the 30 days but at least 11 days after issuance. Therefore, 

suppliers are advised to submit quotations as quickly as possible.

Auto Evaluation may extend the solicitation return date for three business days for price negotiations for “qualified” (see 

paragraph 3(a) below) quotations in the competitive range. Notice of the extension will be provided by email to suppliers 

in the competitive range (bids without exception) inviting them to revise their quotation. DIBBS sends an email 

notification to the email address registered for the person who submitted the quotation. If a third party submitted the 

quotation, DIBBS sends the notification to the email addresses of the third party and the super user CAGE. Suppliers are 

responsible for the accuracy of the email addresses in DIBBS. Suppliers who have submitted their best quotation do not 

need to resubmit.

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

interrupts DIBBS processing preventing quotation submission through 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 that DIBBS processing resumes. Notice of 

the extension will be provided on the DIBBS home page. A supplier’s inability to submit a quotation caused by failure of 

a supplier’s hardware, software, Internet Service Provider, or the World Wide Web itself, is not cause for extension of a 

solicitation.

 (d) LATE QUOTATIONS: Quotations received after the return date/time for automated solicitations may be considered 

until the evaluation process begins. Once the evaluation process begins, late quotations will only be considered if the 

procurement is manually reviewed and the contracting officer determines that considering the late quotation is in the best 

interest of the Government and would not unduly delay the award. Quotations received after the evaluation process has 

begun will not be considered if the procurement is processed entirely through the DLA Automated Evaluation program 

without manual evaluation or buyer assist. The procurement will not be manually reviewed solely because a quote is 

received after the return date/time.

 (e) QUOTATION REVISIONS: Suppliers may revise quotations on DIBBS up until the time the solicitation is 

awarded. Quotation revisions overlay previously submitted quotations on the same solicitation.
DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY (DLA) MASTER SOLICITATION 

FOR AUTOMATED SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS 

REVISION 78 (APR 14 2021)

3

 (f) QUOTATION WITHDRAWAL: Suppliers may withdraw quotations on DIBBS up until the time the solicitation is 

awarded by selecting a bid type of “no bid.” A “no bid” quotation overlays a previously submitted quotation on the same 

solicitation.

 (g) SET-ASIDE SOLICITATIONS: Solicitations with an estimated dollar value between the micro-purchase threshold 

and the SAT are set-aside for small business when cited in the solicitation. When a solicitation is set-aside, only small 

business quotations that comply with the non-manufacturer rule will be considered. See FAR 19.502-2(c) for an 

explanation.

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

screen identifies Fast Auto Evaluation solicitations. These solicitations are estimated to be at or less than the micropurchase threshold and are not set-aside. They may be awarded prior to the solicitation return date/time. A quotation 

valued less than the micro-purchase threshold that is submitted in response to a solicitation that has an estimated value 

equal to or greater than the micro-purchase threshold and was not originally marked , may result in an early award as a 

result of being evaluated as a Fast Auto Evaluation quotation. Fast Auto Evaluation commences at 3:00 P.M., 3 business 

days after the issue date, and continues every day thereafter at 3:00 P.M. until the return date. The automated evaluation 

program for an early award evaluates all quotations not exceeding the micro-purchase threshold.

 (i) SOLICITATIONS WITH FIRST ARTICLE TESTING (FAT) OR PRODUCTION LOT TESTING (PLT) 

REQUIREMENTS: The FAT and PLT appear as separate line items in the solicitation. The number of units shown in the 

solicitation for the FAT or PLT line item is “1 EA”. The actual number of units required for the FAT line item will be 

identified in clause FAR 52.209-3 or 52.209-4. The actual number of units required for the PLT line items will be 

identified in the specification for PLT requirements in Section A of the solicitation. The required delivery schedule for 

FAT line items will be identified in FAR 52.209-3 or 52.209-4. The required delivery schedule for PLT line items will be 

identified in Section A of the solicitation.

 (j) QUANTITY REQUIREMENTS: Quotation must be submitted on the total quantity of each item when a definite 

quantity is required.

 (k) DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS: The Government required delivery will be stated in days after date of order 

(ADO). If the supplier is not able to meet the delivery requirement, the supplier must submit their delivery timeframe on 

the DIBBS quote page in number of days ADO. This includes time to deliver production quantity, required testing, and 

government inspection and acceptance. If a FAT is required, the supplier must also comply with the FAT delivery 

requirement and if unable to comply, must submit their delivery timeframe on the DIBBS quote page in number of days 

ADO. This includes time to deliver the completed test report (if contractor FAT).

 (l) Questions regarding the DIBBS should be e-mailed to: dibbsBSM@dla.mil or refer to the frequently asked questions 

on DIBBS at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/Refs/help/FrequentlyAskedQuestions/Default.aspx. For immediate 

assistance, please call 1-877-352-2255.

3. Automated Award Evaluation Information

 (a) AUTOMATED EVALUATION: Acquisitions (excluding automated solicitations with first article test requirements –

(see paragraph (c) below) may be candidates for automated award under DLA Automated Evaluation program. The 

program uses price reasonableness logic and other automated filters to make fully automated and buyer assisted automated 

awards valued at the SAT or less. The Automated Evaluation program begins the evaluation process at the time and date 

set for receipt of quotations and only considers “qualified quotations” for award. Qualified quotations are in exact 

compliance with the solicitation requirements (bid type equal to “bid without exception”), and are submitted on the 

DIBBS.

 (1) The following are not considered exceptions to the solicitation requirements and will not make a quotation ineligible 

for an award:

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

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

procurement identification description (PID) for an item described by manufacturer’s CAGE and part number.

 (iii) Quoting a used, reconditioned, remanufactured item, or unused former Government surplus property.

 (iv) Quoting other than a domestic end product on an unrestricted solicitation.

 (v) Quoting a hazardous item.

 (vi) Quoting “Other” when the solicitation states a Higher Level Quality requirement.

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

automated award:

 (i) Quoting an alternate product or otherwise taking exception to the solicitation’s item description.
DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY (DLA) MASTER SOLICITATION 

FOR AUTOMATED SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS 

REVISION 78 (APR 14 2021)

 (ii) Exceptions to packaging requirements.

 (iii) Exceptions to FOB terms.

 (iv) Exceptions to inspection requirements.

 (v) Exceptions to required quantity.

 (vi) Quoting a quantity variance greater than specified on the solicitation.

 (vii) Quoting “None” when a Higher Level Contract Quality Requirement is required.

 (viii) Quoting the use of Child Labor.

 (ix) Quoting Remarks.

(3) The following are qualifications (when cited in the solicitation) that are required to be eligible for an automated 

award:

 (i) Export Control (as cited in the item description) requires the applicable certifications to be current for both the 

quoter and manufacturer. The offeror and any source(s) of supply it will use for contract performance must have an 

active United States/Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification and DLA controlling authority approval to 

access export-controlled data. DLA does not intend to delay award in order for an ineligible offer or its source(s) supply 

to apply for and receive DLA controlling authority approval to access the export-controlled data.

 (ii) The quoted manufacturer must be on the specific Qualified Product List or Qualified Manufacturers List. 

 (iii) The quoter must be on the specific Qualified Suppliers List of Distributors or on the Qualified Suppliers List.

 (iv) When Trade Agreements is cited (DFARS 252.225-7020) when offering the product of a Non-Designated 

Country when other quotes received are not offering the product of a Non-Designated country.

(b) AUTOMATED EVALUATION FACTORS: The automated evaluation program evaluates all qualified quotations 

on the basis of price alone and does not consider quantity price breaks. Price evaluation factors are added to the total 

quotation price in the following instances:

(1) $200 for offers of surplus for unused former Government surplus material.

(2) $600 for CSI evaluations of surplus by each ESA. The evaluation factor may be applied if the contracting office 

cannot determine acceptability of quotations for other than CSI items and requires ESA coordination.

(3) When the solicitation is subject to the Buy American statute or the Balance of Payments Program (see DFARS 

225.502(c).

(c) SOLICITATIONS WITH FAT/PLT REQUIREMENTS:

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

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

 (2) For solicitations with FAT testing by the Government, the contracting officer will apply an evaluation factor that 

reflects the cost of the testing.

 (3) When FAT is waived, the contracting officer may negotiate for revised delivery since the original delivery 

requirement may have been based on prior production deliveries with first article included.

(d) TIE QUOTATIONS: If evaluated quotations result in a tie between qualified quotations, the award decision will be 

based on the following order of precedence:

 (1) A domestic end product quotation over a qualifying foreign country end product quotation.

 (2) Small business quotation over a large business quotation.

 (3) Quotation with the shortest delivery. (If a quotation contains different deliveries for multiple line items the 

automated evaluation program uses the average of the delivery periods).

 (4) First quotation submitted.

(e) MANUAL EVALUATION: When automated evaluation is not used, as in the case of FAT and PLT requirements, 

or if the system is unable to make a fully automated award, quotations will be evaluated and awarded manually. When a 

quotation is manually evaluated, the contracting officer may consider quantity price breaks quoted without further 

discussion. When manually issued awards reference the Master Solicitation, all mandatory and conditional provisions,

clauses, and procurement notes are incorporated by reference with the same force and effect as if set forth in full text.

(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. Since delivery is an evaluation factor, 

there may be an evaluation preference for quotes/offers of fewer delivery days than the number of delivery days 

requested by the Government. Quoting/offering a greater number of delivery days than requested may result in the 

quote/offer not being considered.

(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 the solicitation.

(h) NOTICE OF AWARD: Purchase orders are based on a submitted quotation. Suppliers are requested to notify the 

administrative contracting officer, within 14 days after receiving the notice of award, when they will not perform in 
DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY (DLA) MASTER SOLICITATION 

FOR AUTOMATED SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS 

REVISION 78 (APR 14 2021)

5

accordance with a purchase order. Failure to provide prompt notice will adversely affect your past performance 

evaluation if the purchase order is later cancelled at other than the Government’s request.

(i) AUTOMATED EVALUATION DISTRIBUTION: The automated award will be posted to the 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.

 (j) Quotations submitted by firms newly registered in DIBBS (i.e., registered in DIBBS within the past 60 days) in 

volumes significantly exceeding the historical average for newly registered firms will be excluded from consideration for 

automated awards and manual awards.

PART II – Automated Indefinite Delivery Contract (AIDC):

Applies when a “U” solicitation and resulting award do not specify a firm quantity of supplies (other than a minimum 

quantity) and provides for the issuance of delivery orders during the period of the contract. Coverage is for DLA orders 

for stock replenishment (DLA Direct).

1. Automated Award Evaluation Information:

The following are considered exceptions to the solicitation requirements in addition to those listed in PART I and will 

make a quotation ineligible for an automated award:

 (a) Quoting a used, reconditioned, remanufactured item, or unused former Government surplus property.

(b) Quoting less than the minimum of 90 days validity period.

2. AIDC Contract:

 (a) The AIDC contract will incorporate this Master Solicitation by reference, including the following terms and 

conditions that will be provided in full text:

 (i) Clause: 52.216-19 Order Limitations

 (ii) Clause: 52.216-22 Indefinite Quantity

 (iii) Clause: 52.216-18 Ordering

 (iv) Procurement note H06, Unilateral Indefinite-Delivery Contract (IDC) Below the Simplified Acquisition 

Threshold (SAT) (SEP 2017)

 (b) Numbering: The Procurement Instrument Identifier (PIID) system will be used. The AIDC award issued hereunder 

will be distinguished by a “D” in the ninth position and a “6”, “7” or “8” in the tenth position, of the PIID. All delivery 

orders will utilize a 13-character PIID containing an “F” in the 9th position. To maintain visibility of delivery order 

sequence, a 6-position numeric counter will be provided on every AIDC delivery order. This counter will begin at 

000001 and will be maintained for each basic AIDC contract.

PART III – Provisions, Clauses and Procurement Notes:

The following websites are provided to suppliers to obtain the full text of the FAR, DFARS, and DLAD provisions, 

clauses, and Procurement Notes listed below:
