Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 20, 2026.
- Worth checking: Delivery within 663 days after receipt of order. The long delivery schedule may mean long-lead materials and cash tied up before delivery.
- Minor: Offer due date not set yet. SAM.gov's response date is when the solicitation is expected, not when offers are due; the due date will be in the solicitation on DIBBS.
- Minor: Solicitation is only on DIBBS. You must find and download it from the DLA Internet Bid Board System; it will not be on SAM.gov.
