The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Distribution Acquisition Operations J7 has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation, SP3300-26-Q-0027, for the procurement of labels for DLA Distribution Susquehanna (DDSP). This is a 100% SBA-Certified Women-Owned Small Business set-aside with NAICS code 322220. The solicitation requests Firm Fixed Price (FFP) quotes for two types of labels, with a closing date for responses on December 22, 2025. The government intends to award one contract based on the lowest evaluated price from a responsible, technically acceptable offeror. Key requirements include adherence to specified label characteristics, SAM registration, electronic invoicing via Wide Area Workflow, and compliance with various FAR and DFARS clauses regarding supply chain security, telecommunications equipment, and duty-free entry.

The DLA Distribution Susquehanna has issued instructions for drivers delivering to their facilities, emphasizing the requirement for appointments and adherence to the REAL ID Act of 2005. Drivers must schedule appointments by sending a scanned bill of lading and a completed “Base Supply PRELODGE REQUEST 2019” form to ddsp.prelodge@dla.mil at least 24 hours in advance. Upon arrival, an appointment confirmation number must be presented to dispatch personnel. Additionally, the DLA Distribution Susquehanna sites enforce the REAL ID Act, meaning certain state driver’s licenses are not acceptable as sole forms of identification. Drivers from these states must provide secondary forms of identification, with further details available in the “REAL ID Act ACC DOCs” PDF or on the DHS website.

The Interagency Security Committee (ISC) provides guidelines for acceptable forms of identification to comply with the REAL ID Act of 2005, aiming for consistent policies across federal government facilities. Each agency determines its specific identification requirements based on the facility's risk profile. The ISC recommends prioritizing federal or foreign government-issued passports with specific details and advises against accepting tampered or expired documents, especially for higher-risk facilities. The document lists various federally issued IDs (e.g., US Passports, PIV cards, Military IDs), state-issued IDs (REAL ID-compliant driver's licenses), and other forms like Native American Tribal IDs and foreign passports. It also identifies higher-risk documents like local government or university IDs, suitable for low-risk facilities or those with established relationships with the issuing body, emphasizing that the ultimate decision rests with the facility's security organization.
