How to bid on handling eyebolts for the Defense Logistics Agency
What the agency is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency is seeking quotes for two handling eyebolts with machined tapered sleeves for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. The assembly must meet the listed drawing and material requirements.
This is a full and open competition. The award will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation, so your quote must meet the specifications as well as offer a price. The notice identifies the supply category, FSC 5306, and NAICS 332722.
Key dates and the deadline
The RFQ was published October 23, 2026. Quotes are due November 6, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET.
Submit the quote by the stated deadline. The notice says only one quote per vendor will be accepted; it does not state what happens to late submissions.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity suits manufacturers or suppliers able to provide the specified handling-eyebolt assembly and document that it meets the drawing and material requirements. The listed NAICS code is 332722, with a small-business size standard of 600 employees, but the competition is full and open.
If you are not the manufacturer, the solicitation requires proof of traceability by the deadline. The notice also requests unredacted evidence that the same or similar equipment has been sold in the commercial marketplace at the same or similar price, such as invoices. If you do not have that evidence, provide a breakdown of the basis for your price.

The drawings are provided separately upon request after receipt of a valid DD Form 2345 and a signed security agreement. Complete the RFQ paperwork in the attachment titled “RFQ SPMYM327Q7001 required,” include descriptive literature and the completed provision 252.204-7016, and provide the required representations. The notice says a written solicitation and paper copies will not be issued.
Prepare a complete, technically clear response
Use the drawing and stated material requirements to check the assembly before quoting. Make your descriptive literature specific enough for the buyer to assess whether the offered item meets the specifications; the notice warns that missing literature may make a quote technically unacceptable.
Check the RFQ paperwork and required representations for completeness, and confirm that any traceability evidence and price support are included when applicable. Since the evaluation is LPTA, keep the response easy to review: clearly identify the offered item, show how it meets the requirements, and state the price without leaving required information unclear.
