If you’re new to DLA or government contracting, it’s easy to miss small details that end up costing you bids.
1️⃣ Skipping the fine print — Overlooking packaging, inspection, or delivery terms that can instantly disqualify your quote.
2️⃣ Ignoring procurement history — Missing valuable insights from past awards that reveal pricing trends and winning patterns.
3️⃣ Bidding on the wrong solicitations — Submitting offers on items that require certifications, testing, or traceability you can’t provide.
Mastering these early on means fewer wasted bids, faster wins, and a smoother path to your first DLA contract.
