Award History · DIBBS software for DLA suppliers
Quote with the record in front of you.
Recorded awards connected to the opportunity your team is reviewing: who has won, at what recorded prices, and how contested the item is.
What it does
What does the award record tell you?
Before you price a quote, you need to know what DLA has paid for the item and who has been winning it.
Price against what was actually paid
Comparable recorded prices give your quote a reference range before you commit a number.
Know how contested an item is
Approved sources against distinct recorded winners. Some items that look open are held by one or two suppliers.
Spot where your position changed
The NSNs you have stopped winning, and the items where a new approved source has appeared.
