DLA DIBBS
Defense Logistics Agency supply and service solicitations.
Source, grain and coverage
Public DIBBS listings. Check the original listing for attachments, changes and current deadlines.
Supply notices can lack NSN/FSC values. NAICS, buyer email, delivery dates and estimated values are not collected in this projection. Listing access does not establish complete technical attachment coverage.
Collection schedule: Four times daily.
Records describe public source observations. Missing values remain unknown; historical observations do not establish current status.
Definitions audited . Use source status and the returned watermarks to inspect current collection health.

The primary dataset is supply_notices. Select another dataset from this source with dataset_id. Supported field names can be used as exact filters; the versioned query endpoint also supports declared ranges and list operators.
Through canonical /mcp, use govbiz_discover_datasets, govbiz_describe_dataset, govbiz_search_records, and govbiz_get_evidence. Cross-source relationships use govbiz_get_related_records and require access to every involved domain.

| Field | Type / unit | Meaning | Availability and filters |
|---|---|---|---|
solicitation_number | string | Source solicitation reference; qualify by issuer and dates before relating records.Storage and value limits: Maximum 50 characters; identifier rules can be narrower. | Values can be missingeq, in, is_null, contains |
solicitation_type | string | Source DIBBS solicitation instrument/category.Storage and value limits: Maximum 20 characters; identifier rules can be narrower. | Values can be missingeq, in, is_null, contains |
nsn | string | National Stock Number item identifier; preserve raw form and normalize with an explicit NSN rule.Storage and value limits: Maximum 20 characters; identifier rules can be narrower. | Values can be missingeq, in, is_null, contains |
fsc_code | string | Federal Supply Class; the class portion of an NSN, not an item identity.Storage and value limits: Maximum 4 characters; identifier rules can be narrower.Classification overlap is contextual, not record identity. | Values can be missingeq, in, is_null, contains |
naics_code | string | Source industry classification code; link with the NAICS edition and declared precision.Storage and value limits: Maximum 6 characters; identifier rules can be narrower.Require a classification edition; do not join broad prefixes as exact identities. | Not collected; returned as unknowneq, in, is_null, contains |
item_description | string | DIBBS requested item/service description.Storage and value limits: No declared field-length cap here; API/output budgets must apply; empty and null differ. | Values can be missingeq, in, is_null, contains |
quantity | integer | DIBBS requested item count in unit_of_issue; not necessarily number of physical individual items.Storage and value limits: Signed 32-bit integer; logical domain constraints can be narrower. | Values can be missingeq, in, is_null, gte, lte |
unit_of_issue | string | Source DIBBS supply unit (e.g. each, set or lot); quantity depends on this unit.Storage and value limits: Maximum 20 characters; identifier rules can be narrower. | Values can be missingeq, in, is_null, contains |

cage_code_required | string | DIBBS listed CAGE requirement if collected; currently not populated.Storage and value limits: Maximum 10 characters; identifier rules can be narrower.CAGE/NCAGE is ordinarily a 5-character code; wider storage is not a source format guarantee. | Values can be missingeq, in, is_null, contains |
