Buy On DemandFor over 20 years, Kevie Hendrix has successfully sold millions of dollars in products to the DLA and he assists federal contractors and manufacturers navigate the nuances of the DLA procurement.
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has an urgent need for ALL manufacturing to support the global DoD supply chain as it provides acquisition support for all military commands including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, Coast Guard, 11 combatant commands, other federal agencies, as well as partner and allied nations. DLA provides the vast majority (86%) of the military’s spare parts and nearly 100 percent troop support consumables, through its DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) system.
DLA will spend over $70 Billion in FY2024!*
DLA is one of the most active federal agencies with over 3.5 million contract awards annually totaling $39.8 Billion* in FY2022. Marketing to DLA does have its challenges, most of which can be solved by knowing how the DLA operates.
