DIBBS Academy

Most DIBBS quotes lose on information that was public before the solicitation closed. The Academy teaches you to read that information: how the bid board actually works, how to decode a solicitation, and how to price against the award record.

3 pillars · every claim cited to FAR, DFARS, or DLA primary sources · updated 2026-07-31

1
How to win DLA contracts

Spot buys against long-term contracts and what the government is actually obligated to buy under each structure, plus field guides on reading award history and why compliant quotes still lose.

2
How to read a DIBBS solicitation

The issuing office, fiscal year, and instrument type inside a DIBBS solicitation number, and the routing table for every DLA buying activity.

3
How DIBBS actually works

What makes a quote eligible for automated evaluation and which entries end that eligibility, plus field guides on DIBBS against SAM.gov, QPL and QML qualification, First Article Testing, and what happens after an award.
