DIBBS registration process changed. Effective July 19, 2018, new DIBBS registrants will be subject to a two-step authentication process. . Currently DLA only validate the e-mail address where a PIN is sent to complete their registration. After the 19th, a new “Physical Address Verification” process will be implemented. An actual post card will be mailed via U.S. mail to the address of record in SAM. This post card will contain a PIN that once received, is used to complete their DIBBS registration. You will not be able to complete their registration or quote until that time. If you do not receive the post card, there is an opportunity to request a 2nd post card. After that, you will have to contact the Manual Vetting Team at [email protected] to allow them to complete their registration.

Any questions from the supplier community should be directed to the DIBBS helpdesk at [email protected]. Also contact your local PTAC for assistance.

Hurricane Harvey Disaster Contracting - Critical Things to Know - APTAC - Association of Procurement Technical Assistance Centers

Hurricane Assistance - If you can assist with clean up and/or restoration and do not have a CAGE code, please contact PTAC. We can assist you in the expediting of this process. This process is legitimate and at no cost.

Recently, U.S. Army TARDEC and General Motors tested the Chevrolet Colorado ZH2 at Fort Carson, Colorado. Soldiers of the 4th Infantry Division and 10th Special Forces Group exercised the limits of the demonstrator to evaluate the #ZH2's off-road capabilities, power (torque) responsiveness, silent mobility, high exportable power, and fuel cell technology. Feedback on the valuable capabilities will help to provide effective and efficient mission accomplishment by the Warfighter.
