Government Assistance
During the solicitation process, you may discover
that you do not have all the required information to properly
approach a foundry to get an accurate quotation. Your first source
of information is the procuring agency. In the case of DLA
solicitations, the Solicitation that you accessed through DIBBS
will have a Solicitation POC (Buyer Name and telephone number).
This person should be your initial entry point to get further
information or to resolve issues associated with confusing data. In
addition, the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) also has a Help
area: (https://www.dibbs.dla.mil/Refs/help/BSMDibbshelp.htm),
with FAQs that will direct you to the right area to assist in
resolving solicitation issues. If you are faced with an issue
associated with getting bidset data or discrepancies in the bidset,
you should send an e-mail to:
Dscr.PdmdDistribution@dla.mil
and be very explicit in communicating what the problem is.
Post award, you must contact the post awards
administrator or DCMA to resolve any issues that are discovered
after you have received a contract.
There are also several DLA programs specifically available to
assist in providing input to you regarding casting sources and
tooling. These efforts fall under the Engineering Divisions at the
DLA Supply Centers and can help with providing non-binding
information. This potential support does not alter any of the
requirements of the solicitation or contracting processes.
