Four DLA Land & Maritime notices under NAICS 334220 point to small, discrete supply buys (mostly antennas) using RFQs with electronic submissions and limited/no drawings. The practical decision: are you an approved source for the cited parts/NSNs, or can you credibly quote as an authorized distributor without needing government-furnished specs?

A cluster of DLA Land and Maritime RFQs posted Feb 8, 2026 targets low-quantity, approved-source (and one QPL) items across antennas, relays, hose assemblies, electronic modules, spark plugs (possible Automated IDC), and electric power monitors. If you can supply exact NSNs/part numbers through the approved source/QPL path and quote electronically, these are fast-turn opportunities; if you need drawings/specs to bid, most of these will be non-starters.
