The Defense Logistics Information Research (DLIR) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), solicitation number SP4701-26-B-0004, is a five-year initiative with a $50 million ceiling issued by the DLA Contracting Services Office in Philadelphia.

If the government deems the concept of interest, it may request full technical and cost proposals. Technical proposals are limited to 40 pages and are evaluated based on feasibility, viability, desirability, and past performance from the previous three years. Awards may take the form of one-time definitive contracts or Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, with typical CLINs covering short-term projects, working group activities, and optional transition and implementation tasks.
