This lesson introduces you to DIBBS, the Defense Logistics Agency’s Internet Bid Board System, which manages billions of dollars in product sales each year. You’ll learn how this platform supports DoD supply chains, what types of products are purchased, and how to evaluate whether DIBBS is the right fit for your government contracting strategy. The training outlines the four core activities for success—finding opportunities, bidding online, labeling and packaging shipments, and communicating with contracting officers; while also covering seven key principles that every GovCon product company must understand before bidding.
The lesson emphasizes how to compete effectively by aligning with approved manufacturers, understanding automated bidding, leveraging pricing history, and exploring multiple acquisition options beyond DIBBS. You’ll also learn the importance of over-communication through Post Award Requests (PARs) and managing packaging and labeling requirements correctly. By mastering these fundamentals, you’ll be positioned to win consistent government sales in the federal marketplace and grow your company’s footprint through DIBBS opportunities.
