DIBBS Contract Pages

DIBBS (Defense Logistics Agency Internet Bid Board System) is where DoD buys parts and supplies. DIBBS contract pages use a linear scrolling layout — there’s no Market Intelligence tab bar like Federal has.

Purchase Requests table

One row per line item on the RFQ: Expand any row to see:

• Approved Sources — CAGE code (clickable), Part Number, Company for every vendor approved to supply this NSN.
• Specification, Drawing & Standard Data — Type, Document, Ref Qualifier, Amendment Number, Amendment Date, Ref Date. Shows “No basic drawing data available” when DIBBS hasn’t published any.

​

Procurement History & Pricing Calculator

The Procurement History table lists past awards for this NSN, and a built-in Pricing Calculator sits above it to help you estimate a competitive unit price before you submit on the DIBBS portal:

• Row selector — quick buttons for Top 3 / Top 5 / Top 10 / All rows, plus a slider for a custom row count. The calculator only ever looks at rows from the top of the table down — it’s meant to weight recent awards more heavily, not average the entire history evenly.
• Average Unit Cost — a straight average across the selected rows that have unit-cost data.
• Weighted Avg Cost — the same rows, weighted by quantity awarded (so a large-quantity award pulls the number toward its price more than a one-off buy does).
• Observed Price Range — the minimum and maximum price across the selected, priced rows.
• Coverage Window — the newest award date included in your selection, alongside the oldest award date it goes back to — so you can tell at a glance how current (or dated) the pricing data you’re using actually is.

The full table below the calculator highlights whichever rows are currently included with an amber Included chip, so you can see exactly what’s feeding the numbers above it.
