Stop Chasing, Start Targeting with Our Low-Hanging Fruit Filter

Stop competing on crowded, active defense solicitations where the pressure is high and the margins are thin.

Most contractors assume an opportunity is dead the moment the due date hits. In reality, the DLA keeps quoting open if they haven’t received a responsive bid—and they move fast to award the contract the moment a reasonable price is submitted.

There are currently over 57,000 open defense solicitations worth $1.1 billion sitting in the backlog, waiting for a bid.

The Strategy

Most of the market assumes these solicitations are closed, which means they stop looking. By using the DIBBS Navigator Low-Hanging Fruit filter, you can isolate these unawarded opportunities—some up to 180 days past the deadline—where the buying gate is still wide open.

How It Works

• Target the Backlog: Focus on solicitations 30 to 180 days past the quote due date where the DLA is still actively looking for a match.

• Reduce Competition: You aren't rushing to compete against the crowd for active deadlines; you are targeting opportunities that the rest of the market ignores.

• Predictable Volume: Turn overlooked DLA data into a consistent, predictable stream of high-probability contracts.

In DLA contracting, the fast company wins. You don't need more time chasing tight deadlines; you need more time bidding on contracts where you have the clear advantage.
