Hello Hustlers!! Hope everyone is doing well! I wanted to reach out to the community to see if anyone else has been through the DIBBS Business Validation process. I’m not a manufacturer, but operate out of my home. I don’t remember listing my business as a manufacturer but that’s what DIBBS is seeing in their system and wants to come inspect my manufacturing facility before allowing me to use DIBBS! Any advice?

I received the email recently about my account be locked. They responded with questions similar to what you have posted here. Is this the same exact email you all received? Here is a copy of the message: Good morning/afternoon/evening, As previously indicated, we are seeking to validate your business operation before we grant access to the DLA automated procurement process. In order for your account to be approved and unlocked, the following information must be provided: 1. Provide a description of your company’s history from the date it originated through to its current operation. a. Does your company have any other government or commercial experience providing the supplies or services outside of DLA? i. If so, what other Federal, State, or local agencies have you supplied parts or services to in the past? 2. Provide a detailed description of your company’s business operation a. Provide the types of supplies and/or services the company intends to provide to DLA i. Provide the Secretary of State information for your company 3.

Failure to provide a reasonable response within 10 business days will result in your account being required to provide a full reinstatement package, which then goes before the DIBBS Reinstatement Board for the review and recommendation process.

Small Wins

I won a small bid that I submitted like 2-3 months ago. I charged the government $51 a piece while my initial quote from the vendor was $43 a piece. Instead of placing the order through their website, I went through a sales rep who I’m constantly in contact with and she gave me my updated quote and invoice for $22.50 a piece. Look at God. 🤗
