DLA/DIBBS Account Validation - Unusual Requirements?

Jul 30 (edited) • Help

Hey everyone,

I've hit a bit of a snag with my DLA DIBBS account validation and wanted to get your thoughts and experiences on this. As you know, SAM.gov registrations for services generally don't require extensive verification beyond basic entity and EIN info. However, the DLA/DOD is asking for significantly more detailed information, seemingly scrutinizing my business history and capabilities beyond what's typically expected for a new or small intermediary seller. They're requesting things like past government/commercial experience, detailed business operations, Secretary of State info, and even explanations and photos if I'm registered as a manufacturer at a residential address. They're also asking for IDs for all officers/principals. This seems to go beyond simply verifying a valid business entity. Has anyone else encountered such in-depth requirements for DIBBS account activation, especially as a newer or smaller vendor aiming to be a middleman? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!
