Start from the file DLA already gives you
DIBBS publishes a batch quote format and daily pre-filled files for open RFQs. DIBBSFlow prepares upload-ready files with each line checked against the current rules, and your team reviews and submits.
Batch Quoting · DIBBS software for DLA suppliers
Batch quotes, checked before they leave your desk.
DLA publishes pre-filled batch quote files for every day's RFQs. The hard part is knowing a line will clear before you upload it.
What it does
What does batch quoting do for you?
A quote line that fails automated evaluation costs the award, and nothing in the file tells you before you upload it.
Catch the lines that need attention
Each line is checked against the current Master Solicitation rules for automated evaluation, with the rule behind every flag cited.
Upload without splitting files by hand
Files come out upload-ready and within DIBBS's per-file line limits, with a readable review manifest beside them.
How it differs
How is this different from the raw DLA file?
The raw DLA file
- Pre-filled, unchecked.
- A failed line is found after upload.
- Split by hand to fit the line limits.
Batch Quoting
- Each line checked against the current rules.
- The governing rule cited on every flag.
- Chunked to the per-file line limits.

Scope and sources
Who submits the quote?
DIBBSFlow builds the file and shows the rule behind every flag. A person at your company reviews it and uploads it in DIBBS, and we never hold your DIBBS credentials.

Questions
What do teams ask about batch quoting?
Does DIBBSFlow submit the quotes?
No, deliberately. A wrong quote at machine speed is your contractual exposure. Your team reviews every file and submits through DIBBS.
What do the checks cover?
Entries that affect a quote's eligibility for automated evaluation under the current Master Solicitation, with the governing rule cited per flag.
What file format is used?
DLA's own published batch quote format, within DIBBS's per-file line limits.
