How to bid on FMS Case: Tu-b-udo_tunisia for the DEPT of Defense

What the agency is buying

The Department of Defense is seeking quotes for materials to support a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case for Tunisia. This is an opportunity for vendors to supply specific materials, with the potential for multiple awards if no single vendor can provide all items or meet all price requirements.

The government will evaluate proposals based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria. This means your proposed product must meet all technical specifications, and your price must be considered fair and reasonable.

Key dates and deadlines

This Request for Quote (RFQ) was published on August 08, 2026. All questions regarding this solicitation must be submitted through Unison Marketplace by August 12, 2026.

Your complete proposal, including the filled-out RFQ spreadsheet and technical information, is due by 1:00 PM EST on August 20, 2026. Proposals must be submitted via Unison Marketplace; offers submitted outside of this platform will not be accepted.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for businesses that can supply materials meeting specific technical specifications, particularly those with experience in providing supplies for military or government use. Vendors should be able to quote requested colors and patterns.

Firms capable of providing technical documentation that clearly demonstrates compliance with listed specifications will be well-suited. The ability to offer alternative materials with side-by-side comparisons is also important.

How to respond

To respond, you must first access the opportunity on the Unison Marketplace portal. You may need a free account to view all documents.

You are required to complete all green cells in RFQ Attachment 1, following the instructions provided within that document. You must quote the specific color and pattern requested. Additionally, you need to provide technical information that clearly shows how your proposed product meets each specification identified in the part number in Column B of RFQ Attachment 1. If proposing alternative materials, include a side-by-side comparison and highlight where your product meets the specifications.

Only one quote per vendor will be accepted; do not provide multiple options. Submit your completed RFQ spreadsheet and technical information through Unison Marketplace by the deadline.

Tips for a competitive response

Carefully review all specifications in RFQ Attachment 1 and ensure your technical documentation directly addresses each requirement. Highlighting or circling where your product meets specifications can help the evaluators quickly understand your compliance.

Since the government intends to make an award based on initial submissions, ensure your quote is your best offer from both a price and technical standpoint. While questions may be asked, it is best to provide a complete and competitive proposal upfront.

Remember that partial shipments are accepted, and materials must be available for pickup within the continental United States. Ensure your pricing is fair and reasonable, as the government will use price analysis to determine this.
